Experts agree that keeping a food journal or diary is one of the best ways to actually succeed with your weight loss goals!
Just the action of writing down your food choices and recording your activity levels can be a huge motivator.
Another benefit to using a food journal is that it makes you think if you really want that food! Can you afford the calories that this food will cost you?
With everyone leading busy lives it can be difficult to remember to record your food choices all day.
You may be at work or running errands all day. By the time you get home you can’t remember exactly what you ate.
Plus you have actually eaten the food so why bother recording it at all!
One way to get around this is to use an online food journal or diary.
Many mobile apps can be found which allow you to record both your foods and your exercise while on the run.
This is the perfect way to keep your weight loss efforts on track.
It really does take only a few minutes to record your foods.
Many mobile food journal apps will take your entries and split them up into the correct food groups as well.
This allows you to make sure you are eating adequately from each of the main food groups.
The great thing about using an online food journal is that many of them are free!
If you need a food diary for your Smartphone then visit the iTunes store and download an app.
Again they will range from free to a couple of dollars depending upon the features.
You can also download online food journals for your PC and Mac.
Great for stay at home parents. With all this new technology available it really is easier than ever before to lead a healthy lifestyle.
Online programs, apps and other devices allow you access to tons of information on fitness and weight loss.
You can access recipes, calorie amounts, sample exercises and even access to a personal online nutritionist or exercise coach.
By using an online food journal or diary you will have a permanent record of your weight loss efforts.
You can look back and see which weeks you lost weight and when you didn’t.
By comparing your results you can discover what foods you ate that week or how much water you drank.
These records can help you discover any small slip ups you may have made before they become huge!
Weight loss experts recommend using a food journal and an online one just makes the job easier.
