The God Honest Truth!! A Food Journal
I think a day doesn’t go by when someone hasn’t asked what I eat to stay in shape.
I’m also asked what I think about detox diets, cleansing, fat burners and what ab exercises will get rid of the extra baggage just under the belly button….
To keep this less than a novel and to retain my own sanity I’ll tell you what I tell everyone…
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
And eat almonds, cottage cheese, peanut butter, etc…
Throw in some lean or natural proteins like steak, chicken, turkey, lamb, leaner sausages…
And a day doesn’t go by without being asked, “How do I know if I’m eating enough?”
Simple.
Write it down.
When you actually put a pen to paper and record what you eat YOU’LL be Amazed at how much, little or what you’re eating. And that ACCOUNTABILITY will go a long way to proving if your methods are actually working.
I do it.
This is a couple of pages of my food journal…
Notice there’s nothing fancy about this.
All I’ve recorded is the date to start each day’s entry:
*the time I ate
*what I ate
*how much I ate
That’s all.
A cheap notebook always suffices. I can log up to 6 days a page. In all I spend about 99cents a year for paper to record my food…. Talk about going GREEN!
I’ve had clients ask me if they should buy those fancy scales where you can log everything.
I’ve been asked if they should buy one of those expensive $20 food journals.
I’ll tell you like I tell them, YOU’RE WASTING YOUR MONEY.
I don’t even believe in going online to sites like fitday.com unless you absolutely have no idea how many calories are in anything. But it doesn’t take much to learn. Just read the package.
Plus when you go to a trainer or nutritionist for guidance you’ll be way ahead of the game towards developing an EATING PLAN that will help you reshape your body.
So grab a pen, a cheap notebook, and your HONESTY and log away.
It takes only 10 seconds 4-8 times a day….
Don’t you think 1 MINUTE of your LIFE is worth changing your body, self-image, mentality and self-esteem???
