What you'll find in the 60-Day Food & Fitness Program & Journal
The 60-Day Food & Fitness Program & Journal focuses on tracking not only the foods you eat, but also the exercise you get to burn those calories and trim those inches. The front and back covers of the book have great information about setting goals and achieving them, as well as a page for you to write your own goals. There are also charts of how many calories you burn with various activities and nutritional information for various foods, with a section just for 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 a page with a list of all the foods you eat on a given day, helping you keep track of the calories, fat, and time of day you ate. On the opposite page you will find your fitness activities, duration and calorie consumption. There is also a comments section where you can write down notes and boxes to check off for each glass of water you drink. (There's a great article in the book about why drinking water is important for a weight loss program too!)
Once a week there is a weighting on the page where you can track your weight loss and set your goals for the coming week. You can also track your shrinkage measurements. Other charts at the beginning of the book help you set up a fitness program and track your progress.
To lose a pound of fat, you need to burn 3,500 calories. No matter what weight loss plan or diet you follow, this fact will not change. You can cut 3,500 calories from your diet - perhaps 500 calories a day - or you can do a combination of calorie restriction and increasing exercise to burn those calories and you will lose weight. A weight loss diary can be a great tool to help you achieve your goal.
Overall, I think the 60 Day Food & Fitness Program & Journal is a wonderful, comprehensive tool that will help you set not only your weight loss goals, but also your fitness goals and achieve both.
