Free Printable Food Diary

ADVERTISEMENT

I want to share with all of you a free printable food diary template to start using this week to track the foods that you eat. As I’ve written in previous posts, I’ll be releasing a new, updated version of the LoseFree diet that is going to help a lot of you lose weight. I apologize to many of the emails that were sent to me and all of you who have been waiting for the ebook, but it’s not finished yet!

While you can read the original diet ebook, and I’m confident it can help anyone lose weight, the new version coming soon is focused not just on losing weight, but helping you feel better too, both physically and emotionally. I should be releasing it next week, so I hope you can be patient! If you struggled with losing weight with the first diet, the updated version just may help you finally overcome it with some new research I can’t wait to share with all of you.

In the meantime while you wait patiently for the updated book, I have a little homework for all of you to do. As the title of this post suggests, I am giving away a free printable food diary and you can download it here. It is a PDF file, so you should be able to open it without any problems.

Why would you want to track what you eat each day? There’s several reasons.

See What Foods You Like: Many people struggle coming up with their own diet plan because they think you have to try all new foods or eat things you don’t like. But if you have a food diary, it gets a lot easier to plan a diet, because you can find the things you do like to eat, and then just make a suitable, healthier substitution.

Track Your Mood: The foods you eat can have a huge role in what kind of mood you are in, so it’s nice to see a pattern if you for example eat starchy or sugary foods and then become a grouch – it gives you all the more motivation!

Track Sensitivities: More and more people are finding out they may have food allergies. If you have any chronic or recurring symptoms such as nasal congestion, ear infections, stomach cramping or pain, headaches, dry skin, rashes, acne and others it could actually be related to food. A food diary to print out can help make it much easier to track these types of things.

Assess Your Current Eating Habits: Many of us think we are eating healthy foods, only to find out upon closer inspection that we may not really be keeping up on it as well as we originally thought. It will also help you pinpoint any times of the days that you are more likely to suffer a “snack attack” so you can have healthy snacks prepared rather than grabbing something more convenient and less healthy for you.

How to Use This Food Diary

To use this food diary, simply download the food diary and print it out. Then start tracking the foods you eat for 1 week. Each section is divided into morning, afternoon, and evening and has a section for notes. You can also write notes, such as “felt energetic” or “felt lethargic” or “didn’t sleep well” or “have really dry skin”. If you’re the calorie counting type, you can also track calories in that section.

Make sure you don’t forget to track the drinks you have, and of course write down everything. If you eat a certain brand of food, you may also want to keep note of that brand, since different brands all have different ingredients.

I hope you find this food diary helpful and easy to use and hopefully it will help you once the new LoseFree diet ebook comes out. (It’ll be very soon, I promise – working on the final details now!)
