“I do not understand why I am not losing more weight. I do not eat very much.” How many times people repeat these words while are keeping on the diet. There was time when I believed in these words till I did the test that proved I was so wrong. After this test I really started losing more pounds.
You may ask “What was the test?” I can tell you that it was something really simple. It could sound too good to be true, but the recent researches has shown that there is a way that can double your weight loss by simple recording everything you eat.
It is proved that people who keep a record of what they eat and drink and how active they are have more weight loss success.
In this research nearly 1700 people with some extra weight took a part. They had to follow a healthy eating and active program for six months. During all this time they were advised to keep daily records of what and how many calories they consumed. At the end of the research the average weight loss was about 13 lbs. I think that you understand that it was enough to have a significant impact on people’s health, self esteem and well being. The most interesting fact there that the more food records people kept the more weight they lost.
People who kept no food records lost about 9 pounds and those who kept six or even more records per week lost about 20 pounds. I hope that this difference a little shocked you.
So there is a question “Why this process of simple recording is so effective?”
We always eat much more than we think we do. So writing down exactly what you eat gives the key for understanding where the extra calories are coming from. It is also very important to keep a check on your portion size. You have to be sure that it is constant from day to day.
Constantly writing things down may seem a bit of pain, but it does get easier over time and it is well worth the benefits.
Also there are some reasons why it is so helpful:
- When you that you have to make some records you are often doing a very careful choice to eat or not to eat.
- Very soon you will lose unhelpful eating patterns and things that you are doing even without realizing – eating in the car, missing meals and so on.
- It helps you to be more aware of situation that makes you eat more than you had planned to.
- When you see from your records that you had no physical activity during last few days, you may plan to be more active.
Many people who have problems with weight wonder if it is possible to lose 10 pounds. At first sight it looks like the answer should obviously go like this, “Of course, it is possible to lose 10 pounds!” But this is not so easy, especially if we mean to lose 10 pounds permanently.
Due to this if you are properly armed with the info in your sphere of interest you can be sure that you will always find the solution to any bad situation.
