After training for twelve years and dealing with thousands of people, I know one thing for sure.
People that are conscious about eating healthier get amazing results!
According to a new study found in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, dieters who kept a food diary lost an average of 18 pounds in 6 months while dieters who didn’t only lost 9 pounds.
That’s twice the results!
I’ve seen it time and time again. People want to lose weight, but fail to get honest with themselves. Keeping a food diary has many benefits:
- You see exactly what you eat and drink
- You can see patterns in your eating habits (good and bad)
- You can see weaknesses in your nutrition
- You become conscious of what you are eating
- and much more
If you are serious about transforming your body, then you HAVE to keep a food diary.

Excellent post. Hope to see many more similar articles in the future.
One huge thing about the food diary that I found out from my clients was that yes he would write down all the food that he would intake for the day but he thought that was all you had to do. You must see where you made mistakes and improve everyday on those mistakes to see results.
