It is easy to use this printable weight loss journal or food tracker. Each meal is listed to the left with the contents of the meal in the next column. The third column is to record the calories of each meal item. There is room for recording snacks and comments as well. At bottom you will total your intake of food in calories or points depending on your diet. This form will ensure you are sticking to your goals. The daily journal form can be customized for any diet. For instance Weight Watchers is an excellent program and uses points instead of calories and so you would record points instead of calories. The main thing this journal is for is to record weather or not you stick to the diet. It is extremely important that you stick to the diet every day. One should plan to stick to a diet at least 10 days to get good results (really 8 days since the first two days do not count. As another example if one diets for 10 days but cheats one day in the middle then that is only 5 days on a diet. You can not count the day you cheat and the two days to get back on the diet. This is why it is so important to make a plan and stick to it.
