Journaling on The South Beach Diet

This Daily Dish is part of a weekly series to get you started using The South

Beach DietT Online site. Find out how all the great features and exclusive

benefits enjoyed by South Beach DietT Online subscribers will help you reach

your lifestyle goals!

The National Weight Control Registry, a well-regarded, long-term weight-loss

study, has found that journaling is one of the most powerful tools used by

people who have lost weight and kept it off for the long haul. Tap into this

helpful resource and start your own journal by visiting the Journal section of

The South Beach DietT Online.

Use the Journal to jot down your thoughts and feelings, sort through challenges

you've faced, and record your successes. Keeping track of your daily progress

can help you identify potential weak spots, as well as figure out strategies to

overcome them. You can decide whether to keep your entries private or share them

with other South Beach Dieters to compare your experiences. You can also read

the journals of other members (who have made them public) to understand their

challenges, rewards, and experiences. Finally, use the Journal as a food diary

by listing everything you eat in a day. Again, you'll learn a lot about your

eating habits, and having a record of your food choices will be helpful if your

weight loss stalls and you want to consult one of our nutritionists for advice.
