Workout and weight loss on wheels- the four "w's" of eating

Asking yourself these questions will increase awareness of your food intake. Documenting these areas in a chart is a first step: What- What types of foods do you eat? Are they healthy or unhealthy? If they're unhealthy let's try to make some changes gradually. When- When do you eat? Is it morning, afternoon, and night or are many snacks included? After a week of writing everything down,can you find a pattern?Where-In which rooms do you eat? Do you eat on the go? Do you eat at restaurants or at home? After a week of writing this down do you see any patterns emerging? Why- Are you actually hungry when you eat? Is it more of a habit than anything else. Is it more emotional or boredom? The 5th area is "how much" This is just as important because weight loss is all about portion control. If you overeat you are going to gain extra pounds.
