Lose weight with the 60-day diet and exercise plan and diary

Keeping a weight loss journal can double your weight loss, studies show. Studies now also support the idea that traditional calorie counting works better for weight loss. Put these two weight loss tips at your fingertips with The 60 Day Food and Fitness Program & Journal by Brad Peterson, one of the most comprehensive weight loss journals available.

Why keep a weight loss journal?

People often believe that they are eating much less than they really are. they don’t pay
they pay attention to portion sizes and often estimate that they are eating far fewer calories than they actually do. We fooled ourselves into thinking that little handful of chips or cookie didn’t really count.

Keeping a weight loss journal allows you to keep track of all the calories you actually eat throughout the day and stop estimating.

You might even see some interesting patterns, like empty calories spent on snacks or eating too much after dinner and before bed. You’ll see many ways you can save calories by keeping a journal.

What you’ll find in the 60-day diet and exercise diary and program

The 60-Day Food and Exercise Diary and Program focuses on tracking not only the food you eat, but also the exercise you do to burn those calories and shed those inches. There is great information provided in the front and back of the book related to goal setting and how to achieve them, with a page to write your own goals. There are also charts on how many calories you burn with different activities and nutritional information on various foods, with a section just on fast food. There are also several pages of healthy recipes and a place to write your own favorites.

The 60-Day Food and Fitness Program gives you one page to list all the foods you eat on a given day and helps you keep track of calories, fat, and the time of day you ate. The opposite page is where you list your physical activities, duration, and calories burned. There is also a comment section to write notes and boxes to tick for each glass of water you drink. (There is a great article in the book on why drinking water is also important for a weight loss program!)

Once a week there is a weight page where you track your weight loss and set your goals for the coming week. You can also track your reduction measures. Other charts in the front of the book help you set up a fitness program and also track your progress.

To lose a pound of fat, you need to burn 3,500 calories. No matter what diet or weight loss plan you follow, this fact will not change. You can cut 3,500 calories from your diet, maybe 500 calories a day, or you can do a combination of cutting calories and increasing exercise to burn those calories and you’ll lose weight. A weight loss journal can be a great tool in achieving your goal.

Overall, I think The 60 Day Food and Fitness Program & Journal is a wonderful, comprehensive tool to help you set not only your weight loss goals, but your fitness goals as well, and achieve them both.
