Many people weigh more than they want to. They eat too much or do not exercise enough. They choose unhealthy food, or snacks too often. Weight gain (增加) happens when people eat more food than their bodies use.
It has been shown that writing down everything you eat and drink—as soon as possible—helps you to lose weight. Writing down what you eat is called keeping a “food diary”.
If you write down everything you eat and drink in a day, you might be surprised! It is easy to forget the food you eat while you are reading, working or watching TV.
Food diary: 16 June ★Breakfast: 1 egg, 2 pieces of bread with butter, green tea ★Mid-morning: 2 biscuits, coffee with milk and sugar ★Lunch: 1 pieces of pizza, 1 soft drink, 1 apple ★Mid-afternoon: 1 banana ★Dinner: noodles with vegetables |
Keeping a food diary will also make you aware (意识到) if you are not eating enough different kinds of foods. It will show if you are not eating enough vegetables or fruit, or if you are drinking too many sweet drinks.

D.A food diary will remind you of how much you eat. |

【推荐3】It is a good idea to make a list (清单) before you go shopping. Some people do not like to make a shopping list because it takes time. However, there are many reasons why you should make one.
Firstly, a shopping list helps you to save time. When you write the list, you should put the things in different groups. For example, you can write down all the fruit and vegetables in one column (栏). In the next column, you can write down all the meat. Do the same for other things. Keeping your list organized will help you shop faster.
Secondly, a shopping list helps you not to forget anything. You would not want to get home from the store and find you didn’t buy all the things you needed. A shopping list helps you to remember everything you want to buy.
A shopping list can also help you to save money. Without a list you might not remember if you have enough milk at home. You might buy the milk as you think you don’t have any. When you get home, you would see you already have a full bottle of milk. Then the extra (额外的) milk might go to waste. If you make a list, you will not buy the things you do not need.
Although it will take you a few minutes to write out a shopping list, it is worth (值得) your time.

【推荐3】Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice about it:
Eat with others. It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty—sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.
Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don’t eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.
Eat healthy snacks like fruits or cheese. We need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.
Don’t eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last moment. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8-10 hours.
