What about a WEIGHT LOSS JOURNAL?

No one likes to write things down, except attorneys. It's boring, time-consuming and too fiddly. Even so, it's very useful if you want to lose weight. So if you're overweight and really want to do something about it, I strongly recommend you keep a weight loss journal.

Calorie-counting is very useful to monitor energy-intake and expenditure. Keeping a food-journal helps us to find out exactly how much food we're eating and where calorie-savings can be made, if necessary.

What does a weight loss journal mean?A weight loss journal is a record of your progress.This means that you don't write down only how much weight you lose but in order for it to be an success you also have to wite down how much exercise you do each day, your measurments every 3 weeks and most important what you eat each day.

You may ask yourself if a weight loss journal really helps. Well, you can be sure of the fact that it makes your whole weight loss campaign more real and seriously.It also helps us to track our calorie intake instead of guessing. You can total up your calories for the week and see for yourself what calorie-intake works for you. Keeping a weight loss journal and writing down how much exercise you do each day helps us to plan a proper exercise strategy. No more guessing, you can see the result in print.

If you are concerned about not having enough time to write each day all this down than you don't have to worry about anything because keeping a journal up to date takes only about 5 minutes. So, all you have to do is to follow a diet plan which gives the calorie content of all foods and you have to admit that keeping a record of your calorie intake is child's play.

Hoolywood diets!!

Well, just as I thought, the title caught your eyes and you want to know about the “magical” way in which the Hollywood stars look so good.What is their secret? Can I do the same?Good question!I am afraid that the answer is not going to open your horizon or that you will be wiser afterwards.The truth is that there is NO magical way or secret strategy. Because they are human just like we are, they use the same methods that you would use.

Want proof? There is a compilation from recent interviews and articles on the dieting "secrets" of Hollywood stars: Alicia Silverstone is a vegan. Joan Lunden eats fruit. Jennifer Aniston is on the Zone. Diane Sawyer does the Cabbage Soup Diet. Heather Locklear likes McDonald's and French fries. Jennifer Lopez eats eight mini-meals. Claudia Schiffer sips green tea. Patricia Heaton eats lots of dairy. Melanie Griffith drinks smoothies. Demi Moore eats lots of protein. Nia Peeples shuns protein. Kelly Preston eats oatmeal and bagels and Mel Gibson doesn’t eat chicken!

Sarah Michelle Gellar said a monumental phrase, which you should know about as well "Look, it's crazy for people to try to be as thin as we are. We have personal trainers and personal chefs. It's our job to look this way." TRUE!!! Most of them have an army of nutritionists, personal trainers and even a manager to remind them that their looks sells and if they don’t build themselves a marvelous body they don’t get any plays.

Yes it is true, so you work with your own body, get used to your metabolism and try to keep fit and healthy at the same time, but don’t overreact!!! Besides, they look good in movies because of all the angles they are filmed from, lights and make up.

This was just a reminder so you don’t overreact.
