Track Your Eating Habits to Lose Weight: The Power of Food Records
Many people are unaware of how much they actually eat throughout the day. Meals, snacks, nibbles, and handfuls of food often go unnoticed. Have you ever found yourself nibbling on food while cooking? These small, untracked bites can add up quickly.
The Importance of Keeping a Food Record
A food record is one of the most effective tools to help with weight loss. By keeping track of your daily food intake, you can gain valuable insights into your eating habits and identify areas for improvement.
How to Get Started:
• Use a simple piece of paper, a free online app, or download our Daily Food Log here.
• Record everything you eat and drink, including the time and amount.
• Be honest with yourself—even that piece of cheese you ate while prepping appetizers should make it into your log.
Benefits of a Food Record:
• Helps identify daily meal patterns.
• Visualizes the amount of food eaten per meal and throughout the day.
• Encourages mindful eating and accountability.
