Keep a Food Diary


The Cleveland Clinic suggests that it is a good idea to keep a food diary if you are watching your weight.  They offer these suggestions for starting a food diary:
  • Use a notebook, computer or other electronic device.
  • Write down what you eat and drink as you consume each item, as well as the date and time. Be as specific as you can.
  • Designate columns for when you ate, what you ate, how you felt and how much exercise you got that day.
  • Review your journal and analyze your eating habits. Look for scenarios (such as eating out) or emotions that trigger unhealthy choices.
