I was quite overweight for about one year. Stress in life had led me to eat more than usual, and I continued the trend.

The single most important thing that helped me lose 50 lbs. within the space of 5 months was WRITING DOWN MY CALORIC INTAKE EVERY DAY.

I wasn’t paying attention to just how much I was putting in my stomach. When you see the totals at the end of the day, it’s incentive to control your intake, and it’s empowering to keep track of what you eat.

I didn’t need any fancy diet plan, books, or weight loss program. Just write the numbers down, and shoot for reducing your intake to 2000 calories or less.

Yea, you get hungry, but just look at the list. It helps.
