The Best Ways to Lose Weight and Eat Healthy

By Blaise Iannaci

One of the best ways to lose weight is by keeping a Food Journal handy at all times and carrying it with you. By recording all you eat and drink on a daily basis, you may be very surprised to find you have picked up on some very unhealthy eating habits.

When you start your food journal, keep it simple. Commit to recording for at least a month, be honest with yourself and jot down everything you consume.

Write down everything you eat and drink, including the amount you consumed of each item, the time of day and the activity at that time. When you review this journal it will give you a pretty good idea of your eating habits and what triggers them.

Some of the best ways to lose weight is by making small changes in your lifestyle and also in your eating habits. Use this journal to pinpoint the problems and it will very likely show you what you have to do to make the changes needed to help you achieve your goal.

If for example your journal shows you that you reach for comfort food or beverages while under stress, maybe it would be a good idea to eliminate the so called junk food or sweets you are in the habit of reaching for now and replace them with healthier food choices. Although we can control some of the stress in our life, there are many times we cannot control the stress and therefore substituting is the way to go.

Also, if you reach for food due to boredom, you can switch to a healthier type of food or better yet, get busy with a hobby or maybe do something to occupy yourself and keep your mind off of eating.

Your journal may also point out that you are not only eating too much of the wrong foods, but it may show that you are not eating at the proper time. It has been pointed out that we should eat 5 to 6 smaller meals per day. Remember to start with a good nutritious breakfast and then work in the other 5 meals which will include your lunch and dinner along with some healthy snacks in-between your meals. This increases your metabolism so it will not only burn the calories you consume, but will also burn any stored fat as well.

If you are looking for a good journal you can carry with you at all times, this journal allows you to record Exercise, Activity, Goals, Plans, Food, Water, Calories, Fat, and Carbs through the day:




I do hope you can see the benefits of keeping this journal and reviewing everything it contains while working toward your goal. It may show that the best ways to lose weight will be for you to make some slight changes in your eating habits, as well as your lifestyle as you know it now.

Don’t forget . . . major risk’s attributed to carrying too much weight can be Heart Disease, Stroke, Type 1 and 2 Diabetes, and Osteoarthritis.
