One of 100 Successful Days of Weight Loss
Jan 5, 2008 Keeping track of what you eat is any easy way to avoid mindless munching.
Most diets ask their participants to keep a food journal, listing every item eaten and drunk. Linda Spangle, RN, MA, author of 100 Days of Weight Loss and weight loss coach, asks that a notebook be kept too. But her's is different. The 100 Days "magic" notebook should be used to write down a food, whenever you think about a particular desired food. Then plan to eat it at another time. If possible, include how much of it you'll eat and how often it will fit into your program. Even better, stretch apart the times you'll eat this food.
Over time, perhaps you'll find out that that certain foods aren't as appealing as they once were.
The skill you'll learn by keeping this type of notebook: When a food crosses my mind, I don't necessarily need to eat it.
