• You control what you eat
• You follow the progress
• You raise your consciousness

The decision to lose weight is easy , but sticking to the resolution and consistently implementing the plan is a bit more difficult. This is no surprise, as temptations lurk at every turn, and giving up favorite rituals and habits established over the years isn't easy. You can quickly forget your goals and revert to your old ways. So how can you work on consistency and motivation? A food diary can help.

As the name suggests, a food diary is designed to systematically and accurately collect information about the meals you eat . It can be in the form of a traditional notebook, meticulously recording all the foods you eat, or it can be an app on a smartphone or tablet, with many advanced features. Most importantly, however, it's important to regularly record the progress of your diet, taking into account not only progress but also small "sins" and deviations . Only such a record will be valuable and helpful. What can you achieve with such a diary? A lot!

You control what you eat

Keeping systematic and accurate records of how and what we eat helps us control our diet and, in turn, ourselves. When we see what and at what intervals we eat, it will be easier for us to notice certain errors and make changes and modifications . As a result, we will stay on top of our progress and identify some mistakes and... cheating.

For example, if we notice that we are often tempted by our weaknesses, it becomes easier to control them. Thanks to this, we will make fewer mistakes and see more of the little things that can be changed. Isn't this an effective way to increase motivation and develop critical assessment skills?

You follow the progress

The diary, which is constantly updated and supplemented with all the details, will help you track your progress on your diet or find the reason for a lack of results . When we see what we're doing wrong, or when our strong freedom turns out to be less than strong, it will be easier for us to implement changes and eliminate patents that don't produce the expected results or work differently than we expected. The result will be increased self-awareness, a better understanding of ourselves and our weaknesses, and—in turn—greater motivation . Because one thing is certain: we will react to both lack of effect and excellent results—everyone always wants to improve.

You raise your consciousness

There are many things we don't think about or pay attention to until we've analyzed and interpreted them in detail. It's the same with food. With a food log, we can check which products are good for us, how they affect us, what we eat more often, what we should avoid, and what we should limit. A diary allows you to assess the effectiveness of our diet and its individual elements . This, in turn, allows us to continually react and improve where necessary. We, on the other hand, will be accompanied by a feeling of satisfaction because we are sure that we are in tune with the times and moving in the right direction.

All you can do is buy a laptop or install the app! A food diary is a truly effective tool for training not only willpower, but also perceptiveness, accuracy, and healthy self-discipline.
