This week is about great reasons to log your food to help you quit sugar. Here’s #4:

Logging Can Stop a Binge in Progress

Most clients tell me that logging has made them more conscious of what they eat. Even better, they say it stops them from eating junk – just because they didn’t want to write it in their logs.

It’s almost instinctive to stop keeping a food log when a sugar attack hits. I suggest that you continue to log – even if you don’t like it. Maybe BECAUSE you don’t like it. It can stop that sugar attack cold.

But it can also stop a binge by not letting you go “mindless.”

Keep in mind that you don’t have to show the log to anyone for this to work.

It’s difficult to keep logging when you’re eating foods that sabotage you, but logging can change your behavior quite effectively. The following example shows the change.

One client ate sugar regularly and would then find herself bingeing. The pattern happened frequently. She would also stop logging as soon as the binge started.

She agreed to keep logging. We agreed that she didn’t have to show me the logs but would write down everything she ate during the binge.

When she did that, her binges got smaller. The binge episodes became shorter than they were when she used to abandon her food log. She quit sugar. And her weight loss moved forward rapidly.

Don’t miss the final way food logs help you quit sugar – right here this week!
