A Printable Food Diary Is a Handy Tool As Your Weapon Against Fat
Why is it important to make your printable food diary your weapon against fat? I'll tell you. But first, let me tell you what a printable food diary is. A printable food diary is a diary that is generated from a spreadsheet-like document. I tend to like Excel. The printable food diary is made up tables and charts. In the top heading on the first sheet of the printable food diary you have your categories of food: Protein, Fruit, Vegetables, Grains & Condiments.
You can always add more columns for more food categories. On the next sheet of your printable food diary you put the days of the week. Under each day of the week, you put: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snack. Now you are ready to plug in your meals for that particular day (or all of the days of the week) in your printable food diary. Once you've plugged your meal for that day or all the days, you simply print it out and take it with you to work so that you know when you leave work and you need to go grocery shopping, your printable food diary acts as a grocery list - be it for that day or for the whole week. Since you'll know what you are going to eat that day, you'll know what your grocery list will consist of.
So how is this helpful in the war against fat? Very simple, having a printable food diary will enable to see exactly what you are eating and in what amounts. Second, with your printable food diary you can easily replace either entire meals or just components of a meal with a click of a button. Studies have shown that people who write their food down every day tend to eat 50% less food than someone who doesn't. That is because the person writing their food down is now made it "real". Meaning, they can't snow job themselves by telling themselves what they ate, didn't count.
In addition, with a printable food diary, you don't have to write anything down. You simply type in what you need! The convenience of a printable food diary makes utilizing one a higher likelihood - and that translates into weight loss.
