Hey Everyone!
Today's quick tip is the Food Journal! NO dieting involved, no effort involved, EASY breezy. All you do is write down EVERYTHING you put into your mouth. Don't forget to write down the quantity AND time.
Do it for a week, then look back on each day to see what eating patterns you have established.
For example, I get sooooo hungry around 3:00pm. Now I can be prepared with a HUGE glass of water to curb the craving, or an activity to take my mind off it! Honestly, it becomes almost-a-diet because sometimes I get too lazy to write it down, so I just won't eat it.
Try it out! Write a comment if you've tried it, or have concerns about it.
The best part about it is it's free and easy!
I have also used myfitnesspal.com and it is the same general idea, but it adds the calories up for you. And it also allows you to add exercise activities and 'earn' a greater calorie allotment for the day. It is a free program that totally helped to jump start me on losing the baby weight!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds AWESOME! I had no idea something like that existed! It sounds perfect....and FREE! Thanks for the tip!
