Fat Loss Tip of the Week - Write it down

This week it is simple and straightforward. The single most important thing you can do if you have a goal to lose weight is to write down everything you eat and drink. Everything. Even better, show it to someone on a regular basis to help hold you accountable.

One of my boot campers was frustrated because she was getting stronger and more fit but not losing weight. My suggestion was to start a food journal. Three weeks later she is down 6lbs and looking great. As long as she keeps going the weight will keep coming off.

So right now take a blank piece of paper, create 5 columns, label them "day", "time", "food", "amount", and "why I ate." The "why I ate" column should be filled with terms like "hungry", "bored", "stressed", "post-workout", "watching tv". This will give you an idea of what activities cause you to eat.

Send me an email at getfit@ActivePersonalFitness.com and I will email you a food journal for you to fill out. Get after it.

Be well,

Paul
