Food Diary Forms for You: Keep Track & Your Weight Will Disappear

Keeping a food journal is a quicker way to weight loss, as I mentioned here and often remind my clients. To help you peel off those pounds, I’m providing you with a special food diary.
I encourage you to print out many copies of this page and then track yourself like a lab rat all day long. Just imagine that you’re a scientist watching the behavior of your beloved animals.
Feel free to share this Ultimate Food Journal© with friends, co-workers, gym buddies, bosses, hairdressers, fitness trainers, loved ones and frenemies. In short, spread the link love, as some say.

Weight Loss: Would You Like Your Annoying Excess Pounds to Disappear Faster? Keep a Food Journal

Naturally, we’re all impatient to have those excess pounds quickly peel right off of us, right?
If you’re among the 66 percent of Americans who are overweight or obese, it can be especially frustrating when those extra pounds ever-so-slowly creep away, rather than speedily disappear.
Annoying, isn’t it, when you want a hot Hollywood beach body in time for summer?
Even worse, isn’t it especially irksome and perplexing when you’re doing everything right and yet you stay at the same darn weight no matter how well you eat and how much you exercise?
Wouldn’t it be cool if you knew one very simple trick — other than cutting back on sugar and refined carbs — to accelerate weight loss?
It’s simple: Keep a food journal!
In other words, watch yourself like a lab rat and track every single morsel that goes into your mouth.
Remember, that includes monitoring all drinks you mindlessly gulp and guzzle, too. (So you’ll be writing about that glass of wine or small glass of soda that you absolutely “need” when you’re wiped out at the end of a long day.)
But here’s the good news! If you track everything that goes into your mouth, you can have double the weight loss of your friends and family members who don’t write down their food intake. Cool, eh?
