Keeping a
food journal is the single most effective way to keep a
watchful eye over the amounts and types of food that you
eat. Some folks like to keep written journals or diaries;
others find that our
free Active 8 online food journal is easier and does all
the calculating for you. No matter what way you keep track
of your food intake, it is a secret ingredient to long-term
successful weight loss and weight loss management.
A recent
research study by Kaiser Permanente found that when
participants kept a food journal, it actually doubled
their results. According to the press release by
PRNEWSWIRE:
"The more food records people kept, the more weight they
lost," said lead author Jack Hollis Ph.D., a researcher at
Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research in Portland,
Ore. "Those who kept daily food records lost twice as much
weight as those who kept no records. It seems that the
simple act of writing down what you eat encourages people to
consume fewer calories."
Even though Dr. Steelman has long advocated the use of a
food diary for his patients, the very public release of this
research study has brought new public awareness to an
integral part of weight loss management – keeping track of
food intake.
So resolve to yourself to make a commitment to keep track of
your food intake – and you will be much more successful in
your weight loss goals!
