Many have heard the recommendation regarding a food diary: this method is considered very successful in matters of weight loss.
However, it is better to keep such records on a permanent basis.
What is the reason for this advice?
You will be able to track the number of calories
Losing weight is a short-term goal, but in the long term, everyone wants to maintain a "pleasant" weight. After a diet, many begin to "thank" themselves for their efforts. As a result, the fat can return again.
But a food diary will help you keep this issue under control.
Nutrients
Many people are mistaken when they think that they eat correctly and in a balanced way. But it is difficult to understand without analysis. If you keep a food diary, you will always be able to roughly understand what vitamins and minerals you are clearly lacking in your diet.
To do this, you can make yourself small reminders of the main products and their chemical composition, experts advise.
In this case, you will not allow nutritional deficiencies.
Motivation
Sometimes it is difficult for us to limit ourselves in food, but overeating is the main reason for the appearance of excess fat. If you periodically review your diet, you can be inspired.
It will also help you cleanse your menu of harmful and high-calorie foods.
