On Healthy Living

If you are trying to lose weight and the weight is not coming off as quickly as you would like, try journaling and writing down every piece of food and drinks that go into your mouth. A recent study found that people who write down and journal everything they put into their mouths will lose twice as much weight as those people who don’t.

I have journaled and kept a diary of what I was eating in the past and found that while I thought I wasn’t eating much, I was eating more than I should be. When tempted to eat something we shouldn’t, knowing you have to write it down and that act in itself makes you accountable, you are more likely to resist the temptation of eating something unhealthy.

So if you are trying to lose weight and you are having a lot of trouble getting motivated to do so or the weight is just not coming off, journal and write down every bite!
