How keeping a diary may assist weight loss
The US National Weight Control Registry says that the technique that is most commonly utilised by those people who lose weight and tend to keep it off, is self monitoring.
Keep track of your food and beverage intake
So how can this be done? Simple. Keep a diary of everything you consume daily, whether itâs complete meals or snacks. It may be useful to keep track of the beverages you consume as well. Be sure to include the type of food or drink as well as the portion size consumed.
According to a clinical trial that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, those participants who had recorded their food consumption more regularly, lost more than two times the weight of those participants who hadnât recorded their food intake.
Make healthy choices
It seems that writing down what and how much we eat will make us more aware of our intake. Thus we may be better able to identify our unhealthy choices, which we can then exchange for more healthier foods.
