Food Journaling

I know it may sound a little strange to some "Food Journaling" but it can really make a huge difference in you weight loss goals. I suggest that you keep track everyday in a journal what you have eaten and how much of it you ate. A journal will never lie,  the proof will be there if you have stayed on track with your clean eating or if you have strayed. So if you get on the scale and the numbers haven't changed of if they have gone up and you look in you food journal and see the 5 chips one day, the can of soda on another day, and 1 small piece of candy another day then it all makes sense. It is hard to think back at every little slip up made in your eating habits and so you think you didn't go off that much but if you are keeping track you can actually see it and realize all those little things you think at the time "won't hurt" or "just this once will be o.k." really are hurting your progress. Also the proof will be there if you have been eating clean, writing it down and seeing it on the scale. You want to make sure even if you have been good with your clean eating to keep track so when you do have those slip ups you can look back at what worked and repeat it. It is a fact that people who keep track with a food journal have a higher success rate with there weight loss than those who don't. You don't have to share your journal with anyone if don't want to, it is just for you. However the key with food journaling is to be brutally honest with your self about what you have eaten. Eating Clean is a lifestyle change, and while not always easy the rewards from it are well worth it in the end. If you haven't yet checked out Tosca Reno's wedsite I encourage you to do so. Tosca has an amazing success story, and also there are other success stories on there as well of people who made the commitment to be healthy and start the Clean Eating lifestyle. I am going to start my journal today are you???    toscareno.com
