A Weight loss journal can help you lose weight
From Portland - According to research in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, scientists studying over 1500 overweight or obese people noted that those who kept a daily food diary lost nearly twice as much weight compared to those who did not. The patients, on average, lost 13 pounds, while a 5 pound weight reduction can lower the risk of developing high blood pressure by 20%
This is why you need to keep a good weight loss journal - and here are a few tips to get you started…
We all know that weight loss is going to take a lifestyle change - after all, if your current lifestyle was healthy, you wouldn't need to lose weight! And what makes up your lifestyle? - nothing more than a series of habits that you have developed over the years - some of which are good and some of which are bad. But how well do you know your own habits?
This is where a good weight loss journal comes in. The first thing it does is raise our awareness of just what we are doing, and not doing, to our bodies every single day - in terms of diet, exercise, snacking, sleep, water, and so on. Here's the first tip this will only work if you are honest!
The second element in a good weight loss journal is to be thorough - write down EVERYTHING. From what you had (or didn't have!) for breakfast to every snack through the day, to every time you "helped" the kids with their food or stole a cookie from a co-worker. And also the physical side of life - just how far do you walk in a day?
This process does not need to take very long - in fact, the longer you do it, the more likely you are to get lazy about keeping it!
Finally - even a very good weight loss journal is useless if you do not review it! Take what you have learned about your lifestyle and use that to put your weight loss plan together. Your journal will tell you your weaknesses and your strengths and show you exactly what needs to be fixed to lose those pounds. The good news is - it probably won't be as hard as you think!
