Step 1: Record what you eat. A detailed food journal is a
great tool. It's great for tracking your macro nutrients and making sure you are getting enough protein, fruits and veggies but it can be so much more.
You can use it look for patterns that show you ways to improve your plan.

Review your journal
for:
- Times when you crave food; you can check to be sure your daily intake to that point was balanced and figure out if you are eating from habit, stress or anxiety or if you are actually hungry
- Opportunities to replace processed foods with no nutrients. You can grab my list of best and worst flat belly foods here
- Serving sizes that are too large; scale back. After 19 years in the industry, I've noticed one of the primary reasons people can't lose weight is underestimating how much they are eating. If you aren't sure what single sizes of foods are or what a properly balanced day looks like, I discuss these topics in this article
- High-calorie drinks, including soda, sweet tea, sweetened or flavored milks, sweetened coffees, alcohol, and juices. These can really add up and being aware of how much you take in during a simple week can make a significant difference in reaching your goals.
- Hidden Sugars or other items that mess with your insulin levels and body's ability to burn fat
