You are never too old to keep a diary.....

...a food diary that is!

Without question, behavior modification has proven to be paramount for long-term weight loss success. The latest infomercial, dieting craze, or fat-burner pill may provide some marginal victories in the short-term, but let's face it, a diet of grapefruit juice and bilberry extracts should waive red flags from your department of common sense with regard to you long-term health.

So place your ab-chair-thigh-buster-bun-lifter (as seen on TV) aside, and instead, pick up a pen. That's right, a food diary is the number one tool used by nutritionists and dietitians for behavior modification-specific weight control.

The real questions are: Do you trust yourself to write down every morsel of sweet, salty, or fatty delight that passes through your lips on a daily basis; or more importantly, can you commit to finding the time? Please take a moment and respond with your successes, struggles, thoughts, and/or opinions on keeping a food diary. What has worked for you?
