Lower Your Cholesterol Naturally

Although not in the same words, I’ve written about this concept several times. I called it a ‘daily tally of the foods and calories you eat’. Yahoo this morning had an article about food diaries. Those who kept a diary lost about twice as much weight as those who didn’t.

The diary can be as simple as emailing yourself during the day with a list of foods you ate. Or just scribbling down on post it notes and recording it later.

It just makes common sense – if you collect data about what you eat, you can understand how much and how often you do eat. And from there you can develop a method to lose weight.

So if you call it a ‘daily tally’ or a ‘food diary’ either way it is a useful tool for those of us who want to lose weight.
