Just a quick note for you on how keeping a daily food diary over the next few weeks and being more aware of what you eat could save you a few extra pounds over the festive period.
So where to start…. A note book….a pen/pencil…5 minutes a day and away you go. Get a notebook from poundland or use one you have already but rip out any used pages, you just want this for your food diary…nothing else!
Take note of the time you eat…..
What you eat…. ( you don’t have to weight your food but be as accurate as you can manage)
What you have to drink (times too)
Any physical activity you do… walked the stairs, went to the gym, did a body combat class etc (and the time)
And how you feel…. as in great, tired, bloated, irritable etc etc.
Writing down what and when you eat, somehow makes you more accountable for what passes your lips!! It’s a worthwhile exercise to do, even without having a professional check it over afterwards. Some of you may have already done this exercise, with me or another trainer so you know what you are looking for and what you should change to make your intake better.
So you’re asking how does this save me on the weigt gain over the festive period??? Most of us are busy in the run up to Christma… no? Well we snack on the run, pick at the fridge inbetween work/shopping/parties (kids and adults) etc etc
It’s not till the first week in January and we notice the extra weight….. keep a little eye on it now and you will not have ‘quite so much’ to notice in January!! Trust me this really can make a difference!!
