A dieter on the hCG diet protocol that keeps a detailed journal by recording nutritional intake and behaviors can dramatically improve their chance of success.

Dieters who have made the commitment to do the hCG diet protocol must always remember that consistency is the key element. Keeping records in a journal daily will be the dieter’s most important tool on the protocol.

How does a person on the hCG diet go about creating a journal? Dieters on the hCG protocol can leverage the power of journaling by utilizing these tips:

•Dieters should ALWAYS BE HONEST. If a dieter is not honest in their own personal journal, the only one they will be hurting and hiding the truth from is their own self.

•Dieters should clearly define what their realistic goals may be while on the protocol and record them at the beginning of their journal.

•Dieters should make a list of excuses that they tell themselves. They should then turn thee list of excuses into statements of purpose and rehearse them daily.

•Dieters should write out a plan. Dieters will have a hard time sticking with the protocol if they do not have a plan. It is recommended that dieters plan for a week in advance. You are encouraged to think about everything that is going on within that week and plan accordingly. When dieters plan a week in advance, they are more likely to be successful. They should never deviate away from the plan once they have it. When they stray from the plan they should make note of that in their journal. Dieters should write the people they were around and the situations that they were in. They will be able to look back and access these details in the future to help them deal with similar circumstances.

•The dieter’s daily morning weigh in should be recorded. This will give the dieter motivation and empowerment during different phases of the protocol.

•Dieters should write down the details of every meal, snacks or beverages. This will be very helpful if the dieter needs to reference back and pinpoint certain items that may have caused increased losses or stalls. Food journaling also makes the dieter aware of their unconscious food habits. Once a dieter sees it written down, they can reflect on it and address it. Sometimes people tend to eat unconsciously. The simple act of writing it down brings the dieter a sharper focus of what they are consuming.

•Dieters should write down those times they may stray from the protocol whether accidental or on purpose. They should write down how it happened and how they felt afterwards. This will help to avoid any future mishaps.

•It is important that the dieter feels good about their successes and acknowledges those successes as well. This will keep them on track physically as well as psychologically.

•Dieters should always record how they are feeling in their journals. They may discover that there are certain behaviors or emotions that contribute to poor eating habits or bad lifestyle decisions. Writing how they are feeling will help pinpoint triggers of when a dieter may make an unhealthy decision.

A journal on the hCG diet protocol is an essential method of self- regulation. Dieters will clearly be able to see how they are coming along and if they are getting closer to the goals they have set. Keeping a journal is so effective because a dieter can't change what they don't measure. They can look back over their entries and see how well they did, and also see what areas they need to improve.

Enormous lifestyle changes come while being on the hCG protocol If a dieter follows the protocol correctly, physically shedding the extra pounds is the easy part. Recognizing the behavior changes and emotional changes by journaling will be the most rewarding part.
