The Priceless Low Carb Journal

No matter what major life change you are working towards, a journal is a great tool to help you along your journey. Weight loss is no exception. In the curious, and often confusing, world of low carbohydrate eating, your personal weight loss journal serves as a personalized road map to weight loss success.

A detailed journal will teach you things you won’t find in any book or on any website. No other Low Carb Loser can offer you this valuable insight. You will find you are able to draw connections between emotions, people, physical health, and food you are eating. You may find that every time you talk to a certain person, you feel bad and want to cheat. Or, you may find that every time you eat a certain food, legal or not, you feel tired or depressed.

Your journal should be a daily record of food, water, and other aspects of your low carb lifestyle. You can make it as detailed or narrow as you wish. At a minimum, include the foods you ate that day, the quantity, the amount of water you drank, and any exercise. Women may also find it helpful to make a note of menstrual cycles. Also include your weight.

When you’re struggling to make the scale move, refer to your journal. Revisit your most successful low carb days. What were you doing? What were you eating? How were you feeling? These details can help you identify changes that may be stalling your weight loss.

To make your journal even more useful, make a note each day of how you feel. What are you experiencing emotionally and physically? Record major and minor events in your life. Also, include who you visited with and any conversations of importance.

Give a journal a chance. It can be the most valuable weight loss tool you ever didn’t buy.
