Keeping a Food Diary

This Powerful Weight-Loss Tool Can Help

Keeping a record of the food you eat each day can help you lose weight or maintain it after weight loss.  You don’t need to show it to anyone.  Being honest with, and accountable to, yourself as to how well you are following your plan can be a powerful motivator.  If it works for you, go ahead and show it to someone else.  If you are working with a doctor or a registered dietitian, the food diary can be a great way to check your progress.
