 wellness minute food diary: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

In today’s Wellness Minute we explain why writing down your food each day can actually double the amount of weight you lose. A recent study has verified what we have been saying for years keep a food diary or food journal and you will lose more weight. Writing down everything you eat and drink reveals your habits. You’ll see that you always snack mid morning and mod afternoon. And once you see this you can pre-plan healthy alternatives. So remember if you bite it …write it and the weight will melt off twice as fast. And when you know that you have to write down everything then you’re less likely to go off your program.  Take a listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
