It keeps me in tune with how much I actually eat... all the calories add up!

this worked when I was younger but I was literally eating about 300 calories a day. I know that isnt healthy and sure enough once all the weight was off and I started to try to eat normal it came back.

i find that counting the calories helps me make better healthy choices

this is pretty much the only thing that works for me combined with physical exercise

I keep a food journal of the calories I eat, Which is an amazing helpful thing!

It's hard at first but then after to learn how many calories are in which foods you eat you will discover you can still eat the things you really enjoy but in MODERATION and A LOT LESS frequently. I still have sugar & milk in my coffee I just set aside 150 calories for that and I drink only water and the occasional diet lemonade. I am have completely cut out all soda INCLUDING DIET soda. It's bad for you-ie phosphoric acid and the carbonation causes water retention.

Did this with weight watchers and it worked

If I have to write it down, I think twice before eating it

this is the best way for me to know what's really going on

What I do now, it works, but it' you need to have control an will power. Something that has taken me 15years to get!

I am just keeping track of what I eat. im not actually counting the calories, but when i have to write it down it keeps me from overdoing food

Very helpful. It is the only way for me to really keep track.

This did work. Just got lazy about it. But plan on starting again

Works well but time consuming

Keeps me accountable, worked--but binging stopped progress.
