Our Lady of Weight Loss

Want to lose weight? Then … a tip that works !!!

New research from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA, indicates that women who faithfully keep a food journal (operative word here … faithfully), who avoid skipping meals and limit eating in restaurants, lose more weight than those who do not follow those three simple guidelines.

Specifically, their research showed that:

  • Women who kept food journals consistently lost about 6 pounds more than those who did not
  • Women who reported skipping meals lost almost 8 fewer pounds than women who did not
  • Women who ate out for lunch at least weekly lost on average 5 fewer pounds than those who ate out less frequently (eating out often at all meal times was associated with less weight loss, but the strongest association was observed with lunch)  (Source: FHCRC.Org)

People tell me that they are overwhelmed, and understandably want to know “Where to begin?”

Why not begin by tracking your food!  Get yourself a little notebook to write in, download any one of the many food tracking aps onto your smart phone; or, if keeping the traditional journal is just not your thing, have you considered being a foto-food journalist?  Check out OLofWL’s BlogPost “SNAP YOUR WEIGH THIN!

Keeping a food journal creates an opportunity for you to pay close attention to what you are eating; it helps you to stay honest, to be accountable, and to learn about your food habits, likes, dislikes and eating styles!  (Curious what your eating style says about you?)

Let us know how it goes!  Our Lady of Weight Loss is with you every ounce of the weigh!

Spread the word … not the icing!
