My least favorite question posed to actresses is “how do you stay so
thin?” I hate it because 9 times out of 10 their answer goes something
like, “Oh I just make sure I put on sunscreen and drink lots of water!”
…What? That’s not right. Or if you actually get an honest answer
it involves foods that end in “grass” or a three hour a day work out
regimen-Gross and no thanks.
There has, so far, been one answer I’m ok with and that came from Carrie
Underwood. I read somewhere that she maintains a healthy weight by
keeping a food journal.
Food journals are perfect, especially if you are a foodie. A food journal ensures that at the end of the day you
can see where you need to improve so that next time when you can't get
into your skinny jeans you can look back and see it’s because of the bag
of cheetos you had for breakfast. Accountability on a page.
For
the iphone there is an app called “loose it” which allows you to
set a goal then keep track of your caloric intake by entering everything
you eat (it has tons of ways to find what you’ve eaten too, which is
usually where most calorie counters fall short. And it saves every food
you enter making it easier for you to add food the next day). Since
downloading this app I have found that my justification system for, say,
a second doughnut has been broken down tremendously. It’s also a good
motivator for working out in that it shows you how many more calories
you get to eat. Really, it’s like weight watchers but free.
For those of you who haven’t yet downloaded their brain into an iphone
there is always going strait to the website which is www.looseit.com, I promise it works I've lost 5 pounds because of it.
There you have it. I’ve pretty much removed every excuse you have for
not watching what you eat. Thank me now, cause you’ll want to do
anything but when that fifth cookie is staring you down. :)
