So you want to double your weight loss while doing the P90X workout, Insanity, TurboFire or any work out for that matter? It could be a lot easier than you think. Pen and paper have proved to be two valuable tools in the fight against obesity. In a six month weight loss study, participants that kept a record of their calorie counts and food intake lost more than twice as much weight than those that kept no records at all. The best part about this is that is is simple and virtually cost you nothing. When you write things down you can really see what you are eating throughout the day. Sometime people miss things like condiments or a soda. When you right it all down all of things really become visibly apparent.
Another good thing about keeping a food diary/journal is you can go back and look at it later. Wonder why you feel tired? Wondering why you have so much energy? Wondering why you can’t get through your work outs? There is a good chance that you can answer all of these questions from your food journal by looking back at what you ate. Personally, I can usually correlate how I feel by using two metrics. What I think about most often and what I eat. If you can control these two things you will be unstoppable.
