AIM to
Eat Right and Exercise
There are lots of diet tips out there, but one of the best ways to control
your weight is simply to keep an accurate list of the foods you eat. Health
experts know that keeping a food journal helps people maintain a healthy
weight. That’s the goal of the American Academy of Family Physicians “Americans
In Motion” (Aim) initiative. It helps you keep track of what you eat and how
eating affects your emotions and will make you aware of patterns that you may
have. The AIM initiative helps people keep track of their habits with a food
and activity journal. Writing down the foods you eat and keeping records of
your feelings can help you make healthy changes in your life. Some of the
sample journal suggestions help you think of things you can do to be more
active and improve your mood. There are also healthy and tasty food
suggestions. Keeping accurate records can also help you to maintain your
weight. So log on to http://familydoctor.org/849.xml
