I am so glad to have found this book!!! I have been trying to come up with a format such as this for myself, but never could get it just right. I happened accross advertisement of this book from a Fibromyalgia/CFS site. Now when I go to the doctor, we can compare all of the data to find a plan that may work for me.

I am supposed to keep track of my fibromyalgia symptoms to help the Drs in my health care. I never could get it on paper. With this book it is much easier to get the job done. It is very detailed for you, you can use as much or as little as you choose, it is very efficient and versatile. I highly recommend it, documenting is much easier and I haven't missed a day!!!

Too often workers comp and accident/health insurance related litigation goes on for years. How are you supposed to remember how you felt on June 10th three years ago? With this health journal you can record in opposition-stunning detail how you felt on that day and each day before and after!

I just received my 1st copy of Dietminder and I absolutely love it. This is just what I have been looking for. Six months ago I typed up this same format on my home computer, and placed all my paper in an 8 by 11 notebook, but I became frustrated with that b/c it was to big and bulkly. Ever since then I started looking around for a book similar to my home version, but small enough that I can carry it in my purse & bingo I found it.

Dietminder has everything you will need to help you keep track of your weight-loss process. You can make note of any nutritional and/or dietary supplements you take daily as well as keep track of your calories, sodium, fiber & fat grams etc. It also provides you with a place to record your goals, present weight, physcial activity performance & your before & after photos. I love it and would definetly get it again, but keep in mind if your not the type of person who is detail oriented when it come to your weight loss process then this journal might not be for you.

After giving birth to my baby I was committed to losing weight and becoming a stronger, healthier role model for my daughter. I read a great book, The Business Plan for the Body, and in it, the author wrote that most people fail on changing their eating patterns because they don't keep a food diary. He claims that until the routines of eating healthy are solidified, food journaling is key to success. I've done weight watchers and atkins and have never had great results. It has nothing to do with the validity of either of those programs, it's me! I cheat! For me, there's something different about writing it down. I feel more accountable. I've already lost 32 pounds and am more motivated and satisfied than ever before. This book is wonderfully organized. It has a place to write your long term goals, chart your long term success, and keep day to day track of your food and activity. Further, you can use only the parts of what works for your system, be it points, fiber, fat, carbs, or calories. At the end of each day, there's a place to circle whether or not you met your goal for the day; and I know this sounds SO first grade, but I'm always pumped to circle "YES"!

I became aware of the importance of recording what I eat while partaking in a "Rapid Results" program at my local gym (with a personal trainer). I was given a small pocket-sized food log, in which I recorded what I ate and when. This really forced me to take a look at my eating habits, and change them for the better. However, with the small food log I was using, I couldn't record other useful information, such as fat grams, protein, carbs and fiber. So after I filled up that food log, I purchased the Diet Minder's Food and Fitness Journal.

This book contains everything you would want in a food journal and more. First, there are sections in the beginning in which you describe your current physical condition and your goals (there are even places for you to put "before" and "after" pics. Then, on the pages where you record your daily records, there are sections to record calories consumed (as well as fat, carbs, protein and fiber), water consumed, snacks consumed, Vitamins/supplements/meds, physical activity, calories burned during physical activity, weight, and any notes you wish to add.

The Diet Minder's Food and Fitness Journal is perfect for anyone who wants to keep track of what they eat (or how much they exercise), especially if your on a "special" diet where you have to have a certain fat/protein/carbohydrate ratio. It is small enough to take anywhere, but large enough to comfortably record necessary information.

From personal experience I believe that recording food intake and exercise is extremely important when it comes to health and weight loss(of course there are also studies that prove this to be true!). Doing so motivates you to stay with your plan, and try harder to reach your goals. It also gives you a dose of reality when you have to record that piece of cake you had after dinner that just tacked on an extra 350 calories!

I highly recommend this journal to anyone who wants to lose weight and improve his or her health.
