Don’t Forget About Your Food Diary

Your time on this program is a perfect chance to build awareness and create new habits that will make maintaining your new weight very easy. There’s a reason that we ask you to record what you’re eating in a food diary – if you have to write it down, you’re more careful of what you eat.

Researchers identified that those who journaled during their weight loss plan achieved the best results.  People who recorded daily what they were eating lost twice as much weight compared to those who journaled once a week or less often.  This tells us that the ability to lose and maintain weight has a lot to do with being conscious about what we are eating.

With that in mind, we've made it easier than ever to journal with our Healthie app.  You can even photojournal by simply taking snapshots of your meals throughout the day!

“Those who kept daily food records lost twice as much weight as those who kept no records. It seems that the simple act of writing down what you eat encourages people to consume fewer calories.”
