00:00.640 --> 00:02.830
along with dieting and being active ,

00:02.840 --> 00:05.062
keeping a food journal has proven to be

00:05.062 --> 00:06.951
very effective in not only losing

00:06.951 --> 00:09.173
weight but keeping it off . Let's check

00:09.173 --> 00:11.540
with dr Bethea to learn more , you're

00:11.540 --> 00:13.850
right dr phillips . In fact , some

00:13.850 --> 00:15.906
studies have shown that developing a

00:15.906 --> 00:18.072
daily habit of journaling can actually

00:18.072 --> 00:20.128
double the amount of weight loss for

00:20.128 --> 00:22.072
many people . The reason that this

00:22.072 --> 00:24.294
method works is because it makes people

00:24.294 --> 00:26.294
more aware of what they're eating ,

00:26.294 --> 00:28.294
helping them to identify areas that

00:28.294 --> 00:30.350
need to be changed in order to avoid

00:30.350 --> 00:32.517
both certain types of food and certain

00:32.517 --> 00:34.461
amounts of food . And not only can

00:34.461 --> 00:36.517
journaling help to cut down on clark

00:36.517 --> 00:38.683
intake , it can make people more aware

00:38.683 --> 00:41.190
of when they're eating so bad habits

00:41.190 --> 00:43.820
such as not eating during the day and

00:43.820 --> 00:45.820
then overeating or over snacking at

00:45.820 --> 00:48.050
night can be identified and avoided .
