Weight loss takes time but following simple rules can keep you on the right track and start to show you results within a few weeks.
Start off by tracking everything you eat. Every drop of juice that enters our body, to every tiny morsel of food you eat. Anything you put in your mouth, you should be adding to your food journal. This allows to see exactly what you are eating and what you can eliminate. Writing down what you eat can help you control your portions, which is a significant part of losing weight. This will allow you to see the mistakes you are making. Normally we think to ourselves and say all I ate today was a bowl of cereal and a sandwich when in reality we also had a small piece of a cookie, a small piece of some left over cheddar cheese, and the crumbs in the potato chip bag before throwing it out. All these extra items add up and sit on our bodies as fat, and we don't even remember where it came from!
