Weight loss journals
You won’t JUST get to goal weight with a weight loss journal. You are more likely than anyone who does not use a food journal to lose the amount you want to and to maintain your goal weight. The reasons a cheap little book is the best easy weight loss investment you’ll make are of extreme importance but often totally overlooked. Here they are.
You know that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Writing everything down is an integral part of your weight loss plan.
1. By recording everything you eat in a day plus the energy value of your exercise, you have an accurate record to consider in planning your diet and exercise program.
2. As well as an aid in planning, keeping a food journal helps you to identify problem foods or drinks that you continue to consume.
Knowing what they add to your calories and their (lack of) nutritional value helps you with the decisions you need to make about these items.
3. Analysis of your journal will allow you to identify and understand eating and exercise patterns and the effects of cheat days, hormonal changes and other events affecting your weight loss plans. 4. Keeping a journal helps to prevent calorie amnesia. It is one of the best how to lose weight tips you can take advantage of.
You know, you reckon you “only” had 1500 calories on Sunday, but thinking back, there was that piece of cake and the glass of beer and….
Calorie amnesia is one of your greatest enemies and you can minimise it by writing accurate data every evening in your weight loss journal.
5. If you need an injection of self discipline or motivation, there is nothing to beat seeing your daily figures in indisputable black and white before your very eyes.
There is no secret to easy weight loss but if there is a magic pill, it is the weight loss journal.
