What is so special about keeping a food and exercise diary when you are trying to dump excess weight?

Well I have some great reasons AND even more important is the key reason for even using a diary.

The key is found towards the end of this post.

Here are 5 reasons why a diary can work for keeping you in shape.

1. Writing down what you eat actually make you THINK about what you are eating! (Now that’s important if you are one of those people who graze on ‘auto-pilot’ without thinking about the consequences of what is going in your mouth).
2. You have a record of your week’s nutrition – and you can check to see if you have actually eaten a balanced diet of REAL food – no junk, no diet shakes.
3. Hopefully, you will have a record of what WORKS so you can do it again!
4. If it didn’t work, you can go back over your week’s nutrition and pinpoint the trouble spots. The trouble points in your day or even the trouble spots in your week.
5. Keeping an exercise diary will help you keep on track and also show you your progress!

That’s just the first part of why keeping a diary is so good.The next part is the real KEY!

Have you ever been in the situation where you just open the pantry door and go ‘hunting’ for food – ANY food will do.

STOP! Did you know that we have a ‘hunger hormone’ (called ghrelin) that drives us in the afternoon to eat something – anything? This is especially true if you skipped breakfast!

What makes the difference? A lot of it is in the way they use their brains.

Studies have been done to show that people who keep their brains sharp by challenging them can remain ‘with-it’ despite physical evidence of alzheimers in the brain in an autopsy.
