Nutritional Choice of the Month - February 2011:
Journaling Your Way to Weight Loss

3 words to recite over and over again if you are someone looking to lose weight:

  1. WRITE
  2. IT
  3. DOWN

It sounds simple, but it is amazing how beneficial writing down what you eat and drink is.  This is typically the VERY FIRST step I have my clients perform if they are looking to lose weight.  I’ve been asked by clients over the years to “just put together a menu” and they will follow it.  Unfortunately, it’s just not that simple.  In addition, they NEVER follow it.  As the saying goes, Rome wasn’t built in a day.  Therefore, if you are looking to lose weight, the VERY FIRST thing you should do is to start writing down what you eat and drink.  Try it for a couple weeks and you’ll be amazed at the different mistakes you could be making.  These range from not only the types and amounts of food you are eating, but the meal intervals (time between feedings) as well.
