You know a lot of folks these days try to watch their weight. Whether they do a good job or not is something else. I go see a nutritionist once a month and have to write down my daily intake of food and drink as well as how much exercise I get. For me I needed that structure as probably do a lot of other folks.

I was just watching something on the news about a trial some universities were having which just entailed keeping a daily food diary with exercise and they lost anywhere from 9-13 lbs within the first 6 months. Some people where in shock at how much food they were actually eating or what kinds of foods they were eating with regards to the calorie content and substance.

I think if some have tried the diets and have failed this might be the best option because I really think it might be that structure that we need and accountability which is what these food diaries are. Especially for me because the nutritionist doesn’t just file them away, she actually reads them and we go over what my choices were. Eventually I will get to a point where I can manage it myself but for right now with the shit I have to deal with I’m glad I go every month and get guidance.
