One simple sentence......If you bite it - write it!
When you're trying to lose weight, it's hard to resist temptation at every turn. Unfortunately, those little tastes can add up in the calorie department more than you will realize. Even if you think you're being vigilant, you may not know that 100 calories of your favorite candy isn't as much as you thought. So what is one of the best ways to ensure you stay on the right track when you're looking to drop pounds? Stay accountable by keeping a food journal to track your calorie intake — and that's for EVERY single thing you eat and drink.
It may seem tedious, but if you're serious about your goals, making sure you're jotting everything you eat down (or adding to a smartphone app like MyFitnessPal) will hold you accountable and keep right on your calorie goals. This habit has helped many people see results without feeling deprived when they first set out on a weight-loss journey: in fact, one study found that those who logged what they ate six days a week lost twice as much weight as those who only kept track of a day or less.
