A recent study by the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research found that dieters who kept track of what they ate in a food journal lost twice as much weight compared those who didn't.

The results of this study point to food diaries as an inexpensive and straightforward method for weight-loss.

Sites like Fitday.com, and 2000cal.com offer free online services, where you can track what you eat and how many calories it costs you, on-line.

Both sites allow dieters to monitor both their food intake and exercise and set personal goals.

MyFoodDiary.com offers a similar service, for a small monthly fee.

There is a direct correlation between accuracy of daily calorie intake planned in advance each day, rather than totalling calories at the end of the day. A daily notebook/diary is one of the keys to accuracy as you learn more and more common sense strategies that win without spending more than absolutely necessary in the journey to one's ideal weight.

I've lost 90 pounds keeping a food diary and exercising so I am proof that it does work for some people. It makes you accountable for what you put in your mouth.
