You may find that the simple act of recording what you eat creates the awareness that sparks the change you are trying to make.
If you are a data-driven individual, a more detailed approach to journaling will help you better understand your relationship with food.
How much detail you go into is a personal decision.
Finally, if you have a history of an eating disorder or similar condition, journaling could be counterproductive—so make sure to discuss any concerns you have with your coach or PowerME™ provider.
