A Diet Food Diary Helps You on Your Road to Success
from:Keeping a diet food diary is a wonderful, effective tool in weight loss success, along with drinking eight glasses of water a day, eating properly, and getting enough exercise. A diet food diary is a journal or book you keep where you write down absolutely everything you consume each day. By keeping a diet food diary and writing in it daily you will start to learn about your current eating patterns, if they are healthy or not, or even identifying some unhealthy eating habits that you did not realize you had. This diary can help a person understand why their diet seems to be working or failing by revealing their daily intake of calories. A diet food diary can also help you keep your protein, fat and carbohydrate ratios balanced or let you know if you get an adequate, healthy amount of whole grains, vegetables and fruits each day. It is both amazing and sometimes frightening to see, in writing, exactly what you actually consume each day. You may think you did not eat any junk food or did eat enough fruits and vegetables, but having it in writing will certainly help you know precisely what you ate and could help ultimately help solve your weight problem.
When first starting a diet food diary, it is often best to keep it fairly simply until you get into the habit of recording everything. If you make it too complicated, it soon becomes a chore and it is not long before you quit keeping a food record. On the first page of your diary, write down the date, your current weight, target weight, and daily calorie goal if you have one, or even other health goals such as lowering your blood pressure. Other than your weight and target weight, write whatever you feel will help you to achieve your goals.
On the diary pages, keep a column for the time, foods, drinks, approximate amount and any other information you want to keep track of. The good part about keeping a diet food diary is that you can enter either detailed information or basic information. Some people like to add up their calorie intake at the end of each day, while others are interested in seeing such things as how often they ate, the time they ate, or their mood at the time.
Write down everything you eat, whether it is healthy or unhealthy food, because if you do not, you are only fooling yourself. Be sure to include things such as condiments, pickles, coffee, milk, gravies, juices, soft drinks, and tea. A diet food diary is a great way to see exactly what you put into your mouth each day.
