Do this for yourself-Start recording what you Eat

Comrades,

I know that you have heard this many times before. I will tell you though, it works. Starting today, record everything that you put in your mouth, EVERYTHING.

Go to the dollar store and get a composition book and title it Food log. Keep it simple. Write down the date and one sentence on how you feel or your thoughts for the day. Start recording from breakfast until you go to bed. I want you to carry this book everywhere you go. Keep it close by. Why should I do this? Well, you will be surprised of how well you eat when you start writing everything down on paper. Basically, you start to think twice about what you are about to put in your stomach.

I have a client who wants to loose at least 40 pounds this year. This is a very attainable goal. I will tell you this, what you eat is more important than how much you excercise in my opinion. If you do not eat well, then your just wasting your money on your trainer or gym membership. So unless you have an endless supply of money or just don't care about your health, then start recording what you eat.

Recently, I had a great conversation with a good friend of mine about Americans and their health. Most American are overweight, have high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and high cholesterol, etc. They also are on all kinds of drugs to prevent the above mentioned health issues. Drugs cost money, money that we don't have. Health insurance goes up and then living expenses rise. How do we prevent all this? START EATING HEALTHY AND WORKOUT!!!!! If you make the decision to start writing down what you eat and really pay attention to your health this year, you will save a lot of money. Once you start to loose weight, most likely you will not need all those drugs that cost a fortune.

The solution is simple. Record what you eat and start moving around and I guarantee that you will rely less on all those drugs.
