Analyze your diet
Ever notice that recall is less than 100% reliable when it comes to what we eat each day? Real change and increased awareness of the amount of food you eat requires an honest look at what you’re eating. Today, write down all your meals and snacks.

I’ve been a vegetarian for a month now and I’ve never felt better.It wasn’t a choice for weight loss as much as health reasons,but I’ve started keeping a journal of all that I eat and it’s helped alot. Good Luck!
Keeping my list of what I’m eating on the fridge helps me to control what I’m putting in my mouth and reminds me of my bad snacking habits. Also, it helps me to choose my meals and snacks more wisely so that I do not get the hungry horrors.
It does help to keep track of “what you put into your mouth”! I have been doing this for about a week now! Much more aware, when I write it down. But I still have to conquer the bread cravings I have! I could live off from bread and butter!!! Bad Bad Bad
“Analizing what one eats everyday is a daunting and imprecise activity.” from chaloup.
I agree – it is tough to do this. For a couple of weeks now, I have been tracking my calories with an iphone ap called “lose it”. If anyone has an iphone, I highly recommend this! Keeping track has been much easier for me (than say food journaling) and while the precision may not be 100% its been super helpful even having ballpark caloric counts on foods.
today i went to zanottos and bought a case of water and a premade salad, but the salad made me sick and we ordered a cheese pizza from via mia pizza….we try we are mom and daughter, we are on a tight budget right now….i don’t like it. i like to have money for fruit and veggies….i try…..
I love ice cream. The summer always gets me.
Now that summer has arrived, I’ve been eating rather unhealthy foods. But now I’m going to get back on track and eat healthy like I did before. Also, I tend to overeat at meals, so hopefully this challenge will help me watch the size of my servings.
i first started trying to get healthy just to lose weight, but now that i’m learning more, and realizing that i actually like healthy foods, i’m making more of an effort to make every meal, every day, healthy and nutritious.
i’m an extremely healty eater, but i lose with my big sweet tooth! I can eat healthy all day and if i’m around a sweet, everything is down hill from there. I am not aiming to lose weight, but eat in moderation. I tend to over eat and feel gross and bloated, so i joined this challenge to keep track of how much I eat. It helps so much because I stay satisfied and feel great!!
Friends and I started a biggest loser contest. I do not need to loose weight but I did it with them anyway to make sure I stay healthy. Alot of them have already quit and my fiance and I have still done well. I’m eating better and still excersing. The Kashi foods help. Thank you.
Analizing what one eats everyday is a daunting and imprecise activity. My main challeng in this endeavor is to truly account for all the little the things such as a piece of candy from a coworkers candy jar or that half of a bagel or even finishing off that “little bit” of dinner left in the refirderator. Of course these all add up and I am developing the discipline to not only resist ingesting these things but also to truthfully account for them in my analysis.
I like how we are encouraged to analyze our diets. I recently began analyzing mine and realized I eat pretty healthy. Since I am a vegetarian, healthy eating is automatic. Yet I stiiiillllll don’t get enough fiber! With all the fruit and vegetables and beans I eat, it’s still not enough. I didn’t know how little fiber white pasta and white rice and potatoes without the skins had.
I’ve lost just over 50 pounds by doing weight watchers on my own and exercising. I’ve hit a plateau though and realized I’d stopped thinking so much about what I put in my mouth. I’ve decided to start eating breakfast, something I’ve never done, and I decided to try Kashi TLC bars. I had the Trail Mix bar today and loved it. I can’t believe it has whole grains AND tastes good.
Being mindful, aware, and accountable of what you are consuming is one of the single most important things you can do to improve your nutritional health.
When ever I start putting on weight I start writing down everything I eat. It helps to keep me focused on eating healthy foods, like fruits and vegetables and the whole grains found in Kashi.
I usually eat healthy food, but lately I’ve been downing boxes of chocolate chip cookies. This is not good. I want to try to eat much more healthy and cut out refined sugar as much as possible.
I just joined this because I was celebrating the joys of a Kashi oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and procrastinating on a term paper all at the same time! Love Kashi!
I’ve fallen off the wagon of responsible eating using many excuses. I truly miss my good habits and hope to remind myself about the many benefits of conscious eating even through my super busy days. I hope I can go back 3 sizes even as I turned another birthday recently.
Today is the first time I fit into a size smaller since changing just my eating habits. I’ve also started 3x a week with yoga and some strentgh training this week. I’m feeling a lot more energetic already.
Just started and its going great. I knew I loved Kashi for a reason.
