Food Journaling - With Pictures!

Friday, June 4, 2010 at 03:06PM

As a trainer, I often have my clients journal their food for a 5-day period. A necessary thing to do even if fat-loss is not the goal, as the quality of fuel we put into our bodies affects our performance.

I am always thinking of ways to make food journaling more effective, and have come up with a new one!

This method will ensure you actually do the journaling AND takes less time!!!

Almost everyone's phone has a camera these days, so instead of having to journal 3-6 times a day just take a picture of everything you ate. The pictures can be downloaded at night in the order they were taken in and then added to either an online photo sharing program or your computer's food-journaling folder.

My clients just email me the pictures in a folder (taken in the smallest resolution to save space) and I offer my feedback. For both my clients and those of you who train yourselves, the sheer fact you must take a picture and look at it later, serves as a powerful psychological motivator to improve eating habits.

The one caveat is, you MUST BE BRUTALLY HONEST and take a picture of EVERYTHING you eat and drink that day.

Weekdays are best if you don't want to be horrified on Sunday morning after a night out with friends : )

Try this for 5-days and prepare to be both surprised/shocked AND note the powerful motivation to eat better! A picture is worth a thousand words...

As an example, here's what I ate all day Monday:

Plus an extra 1/4 plate.

A double helping of these. w/ salsa

Two of these throughout the day.

Great idea I like the way you are thinking here. Humans are so much better and creating visual images.

GHD Australia the shift in time, a larger number of people, such a recognizable brand and want to buy products, partly because of attractive prices. Of course! Although GHD Straightener products penalty value of the products lack the capacity of most teenagers. When choosing a gift for my birthday gift for a friend, GHD is always the best option for boys, because, not knowing all the tricks of the girls on how to make a fashionable hairstyle too easy. From a state in which a boy takes care of the girl's hair, AOS, as well as the woman herself, she must think that the boy was very sweet. And it means a lot, actually.There are many women who straighten hair to try to GHD Hair Straightener rectifier good for writing.
