There has not been a tool more useful to me in my effort to lose weight than the food journal. Lean, Fit, and Healthy has an amazing food journal, and it will be imperative for you to use on your weight loss journey. When you can see how much what you’re putting in your mouth adds up throughout the day, you will begin to think about every bite that goes toward your lips. I love to see how a sub from my favorite sandwich joint stacks up against that salad I had at the fast food place (you would be very surprised)!
I also noticed when I tend to eat well and when I tend to eat poorly. Weekends kill me, while Monday-Wednesday are my “healthier” days. I can track why through the food journal, and plan to make changes for the next week.
The other thing I like to track is my intake of fat, carbs, and protein. I know that I need to have a 40-30-30 split. At the end of the week, I can look back and see if I stayed within that range (I’ve noticed I never get the 30% of protein!).
I also use the Fitness Journal to assist with how much I’m burning through the day, as well. Did you know that leisurely swimming—not laps—can burn lots of calories? I didn’t until using the Fitness Journal.
I’m not an organized person, but I’ve gotten so disciplined about using these two tools, that I have learned so much about the way I eat, what I eat, and what burns the most calories. Lean, Fit, and Healthy has been amazing for me and these tools have taught me more than anything else. Start using these TODAY and keep it up.
