Get It Down on Paper
It's a proven fact that a key part of achieving weight loss success is keeping a food journal. Just the act of writing down what you eat every day helps keep you accountable for your decisions and focused on eating right.

But a journal does much more than that. By writing down what you eat and how you feel about it, you start to see the confusing interplay of hunger, cravings, and moods, and how your relationship with food affects all the other things you feel and think and do over the course of a day. Pretty soon, the issues you have regarding food and your weight start to become clear.
The idea of keeping a journal, especially a "diet diary," does not appeal to everyone and that's okay — a food journal is not obligatory on The Sonoma Diet. But give our online journal a try — you may find that it's an easy place to record what works and what doesn't, make notes about recipes you like, and keep track of your weight loss milestones.

It's in the Details
The online journal is a great place to log some of your basic health information. Use it to keep tabs on your cholesterol and blood pressure numbers, and to record any medications or multivitamins you're taking. When it's time to visit your doctor, take your journal along or print out some key pages to share.
