Re: The Biggest Loser Challenge - Instructions & Tasks
*Food Diary
*
If you're not sure what's wrong with your diet, try keeping a daily diary of everything you eat and drink.
At the end of the week, review your entries for problem areas. Look out for processed foods, sodas, fast food, roasts, creamy sauces and fried foods. If your diet seems largely healthy, look at portion sizes.
Once you've decided on what changes you're going to make, write them down. For example: **
**Week 1****
Exercise : one 20 minute walk every lunch hour.
Coke : none in the week, two small glasses on Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Food: no chocolate or biscuits in the week, choose healthy snacks such as fruit, trim all fat from meat, eat no fried or fast food.
*Mood : In Control ; Happy , Depressed etc
*
Once you start your plan, weigh yourself once a week before breakfast. Keep a record of this weight and see if a pattern develops.
** You could use a table to keep track of your goals, marking your progress for each day with a tick or a cross.
