Photograph your meals!

Sorry for the delay guys.

Here's a little fun fact that I picked up in some reading. Did you know that keeping a photo food log to compliment your written food log is three times more effective. In a university of Wisconsin study entitled the "flash diet" 43 subjects photographed their meals prior to eating them. Compared to prior studies using a typical food log these subjects lost three times as much weight. It was the awareness that came with the photgraphing that stopped the subjects from making poor choices. One subject said"I was less likely to have a jumbo bag of M&Ms. It curbed my choices. It didnt alter them completely, but who wants to take a photo of a jumbo bag of M&M's. "

I think this is a great idea for the next go around( LBN challenge Part II) but in the mean time start snapping some photos. Post them, don't post them, either way it will make you think about what you are consuming!

P.S. lets be honest with our friday posts, I saw a few non paleo drinks going down on friday night ha, good times none the less.

P.S.S as most of you know we signed our lease on Friday and are officially moving to 190 Belle Meade Rd Setauket within the next few weeks. We're really excited and can't wait to get in there.
