Having trouble losing weight? Write down everything you eat
Posted on 13 July 2012 by admin
Have you tried many diets out there, only to find yourself with more weight to lose? If so, you should look into herbal diet supplements such as Body Sculpt Rx from Herbal Groups, and try keeping a food journal. According to scientists from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, women who keep an accurate journal of all the food they consume throughout the day and avoid skipping meals may have more weight loss success than others.
The scientists were inspired to conduct this study because a great deal of research has shown that what you eat is not as important as how much you eat when it comes to dieting. Basically, you can still have your favorite foods while following a weight-loss plan, as long as you do so in moderation.
"For individuals who are trying to lose weight, the No. 1 piece of advice based on these study results would be to keep a food journal to help meet daily calorie goals. It is difficult to make changes to your diet when you are not paying close attention to what you are eating," said researcher Anne McTiernan, M.D., Ph.D.
The scientists added that skipping meals seems to make people respond more favorably to high-fat foods and consume more calories, so be sure to eat three meals a day.
What are your all-time favorite meals?
