Bikini-Body Countdown Food Journal
Research has shown that keeping a log of everything you down can help you eat better and lose weight.
Use this format to keep track of every meal, snack, and beverage (if it has calories).
Tip: Aim to eat before you're ravenous (you should be at a hunger level of about 3) and stop before you're stuffed. Eat slowly since it takes 20 minutes for your brain to register that you're full.| Time | Where you were (e.g., in front of the tv, at the kitchen table, at your desk) | What you ate (include portion sizes) and the calories. | Hunger level when you ate (1 = full/not hungry at all; 5 = ravenous) |
How you felt (e.g., tired, stressed out, happy, sad, angry) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example: 7:00 a.m. | Standing in the kitchen | A bowl (1 cup) of Cheerios | 3 | happy |

I model. When I'm getting ready for a shoot, I always use a food journal. I eat 6 meals a day, and I make sure I write each one down to everybite. Writing it down makes you realize the intake you have had for each day. You then put into mind what things you should eat less and more of. Its a different way to portion your food before and after you put it in your mouth.

I have been seriously thinking about doing this. So I'm going to try it. Hopefully it will work :)
