Research studies have shown that keeping a food and activity journal helps you lose more weight. This same journal will serve as a great resource tool to keep the weight from coming back. As part of a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers found that actually tracking what you put in your mouth could double the amount of weight you can lose.
A food and activity journal is an excellent way for you to hold yourself accountable for achieving and maintaining your weight management goals. Think of it as a way to be truthful to yourself. In fact, after the extra weight is off, many people still use the journal to keep themselves honest. It’s truly a habit that can reap benefits far into the future.
Successful weight loss requires commitment to the end goal. Commitment involves persistence and consistency. Your weight loss journey will only be as successful as the effort that you put into it.
In order for your journal to become an indispensable tool in your weight loss arsenal, you need to track everything. Each time you put something in your mouth, write it down. But don’t stop there, break it down:
Recording the foods you eat, when you eat them and why you eat them not only creates a permanent record of how you are adhering to your program, it also provides you a road map for success when you see those pounds, inches and body fat numbers come down.
In addition, when someone asks you, “What are you doing?” you can refer back to your journal to demonstrate exactly how you “did it.” Hey, there might even be a book deal in there somewhere!
