DAY 1: Keep a food diary for the next seven days
One of the biggest assets in making dietary change is a food diary. It can provide a huge amount of self-awareness and pinpoint areas for improvement.
Record your food intake – and portion size – after each meal. Don't wait until the end of the day or you'll likely forget a few foods.
Assess your food record at the end of each day. What do you notice? No fruit? Not enough vegetables? Too many sweets? Portion sizes larger than you thought?
Use this information to help focus your efforts over the next few weeks.
