Importance of a Food Journal


Are you trying to lose weight? Are you concerned that what you are eating isn't as nutritious as it should be? Have you ever thought about whether or not you are hydrating your body properly? Does your family history have issues with heart disease or diabetes?

So many questions and I am sure there are many more...

Have you ever thought about starting a food journal? A food journal is a great tool. You educate yourself about the time of day your body starts to crave food and about portion control. You can monitor how much water or fluid you are drinking. If you are concerned about food allergies a food journal will help a doctor narrow down what foods you were eating when a reaction occurred!

Start a food journal a few weeks before you begin a diet and you will have an invaluable tool that will help you achieve your diet and nutrition goals!
