Lose up to 50% more weight!

Are you doing everything right but still aren't getting the progress you're looking for? Time to use a simple tool to get to the bottom of it - KEEP A FOOD JOURNAL!

Some people consider this to be inconvenient, but just a few minutes a day will make a big difference in your progress towards your weight loss or fitness goal. Many studies have shown that men and women who keep a food journal lose up to 50% more weight than those who do not in the same amount of time. That is a big deal! Would you like to lose up to 50% more weight or make those workouts count even more? Yes, I thought so.

We'll tell you why keeping a food journal works!

• Keeps you accountable!
• Makes you stop and think before adding extra calories to meals, snacking or making better choices at mealtimes.
• Teaches you true portion sizes and portion control.

• Helps you learn about food connections to stress, emotions, locations and timing.
• Makes you realize that you can eat more with healthier foods - it simply isn't worth it sometimes!

Tips for a Food Journal to help you get started!

• Every calorie counts: Handful of nuts before class, quick piece of leftover cake at the office, tasting your dinner while cooking - everything!
• Be specific with portions: You'd be surprised how much smaller portions should be. Eat to fuel your body only!
• Record more than just food: The time of day, meal number, and whether or not something signifigant took place. It will help you learn about your own eating habits!
• Be honest! You need to get every detail in order to truly see where changes can be made, ignoring this will only mean you're cheating yourself.
• Share with a friend, family member or your personal trainer - or better yet, partner up and swap! Working together with someone is always best.

It's that simple. There are tons of great applications on smart phones and online to help you along the way. Everyone likes something different but we really like 'My Fitness Pal', it has a huge database to use and is very user friendly - check it out if you want to learn more at www.myfitnesspal.com .
