Let us tell you about our experience with this method which has changed our lives. We actually started writing down what we were eating long before it was fashionable; we had no clue that we were actually training our minds to break old habits and start being accountable for our actions. By seeing what we were consuming each day and keeping track in our food diaries, we started to see instant results; it was mind blowing. We gained back confidence and pleasure in the simple things. We also began to accomplish other goals that were put on the back burner for so long. Our family was so taken by the change taking place right before their eyes that they started to keep a food journal and low and behold they too started losing weight. With diabetes, thyroid conditions, and heart disease in our family, each of us struggled for years trying to get control, with the food diary we are seeing results that have been up to now, far out of reach.
The feeling was so genuine we had to get this important information to you in a form that was tested, smart, and friendly. We revised the format for the book several times until it was just right and solved all the problems most people encountered with ordinary food journals, such as snacks, exercising multiple times during the day and a format that keeps everything hassle free and legible so it's easy to review your progress.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Keeping a food diary -
a detailed account of what you eat and drink and the calories it packs - is a powerful tool in helping people lose weight, U.S. researchers said.
The study, involving 1,685 middle-aged men and women over six months, found those who kept such a diary just about every day lost about twice as much weight as those who did not.
The findings buttressed earlier research that endorsed the value of food diaries in helping people lose weight. Companies including Weight Watchers International Inc. use food diaries in their weight-loss programs.
"For those who are working on weight loss, just writing down everything you eat is a pretty powerful technique," Victor Stevens of Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research in Portland said in a telephone interview.
"It helps the participants see where the extra calories are coming from, and then develop more specific plans to deal with those situations," said Stevens, who helped lead the study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
"The technique also helps in holding dieters accountable for what they are eating," Stevens said.
The study involved people from four U.S. cities: Portland, Oregon; Baltimore, Maryland; Durham, North Carolina; and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Their average weight loss was about 13 pounds (6 kg). But those keeping food diaries six or seven days a week lost about 18 pounds (8 kg), compared to 9 pounds (4 kg) for those not regularly keeping a food diary.
They were asked to eat less fat and more vegetables, fruit, and whole grains; to exercise 180 minutes a week, mostly by walking; to attend group meetings; and to keep a detailed food diary.
Keeping a food diary doesn't have to be a formal thing. Just the act of writing it down will suffice," Dr. Keith Bachman, another Kaiser Permanente expert, said in a statement.
No fancy machines required; just record what you eat on paper. "The trick is to write down everything you eat or drink that has calories," says Victor Stevens.
I always encourage the use of a food diary. Recording caloric intake and activities create a powerful tool in personal accountability and progress. It is a proven method for successful weight loss. My Daily Food & Activity Diary is easy to fill out and the calorie guide is an excellent reference. I highly recommend this book.
