    Takeaways: Tracking food intake is essential for understanding and improving your eating habits. Start tracking just one meal a day to gradually build a consistent habit. Using food labels effectively helps you make informed choices about your nutrition. Measuring portions accurately can lead to better control over calorie intake and weight management. Practice measuring common foods at home to develop an intuitive sense of portion sizes. Tracking is a skill that improves with practice, so be patient with yourself.

    This is a yearlong program, but we’ll break it up into two parts.

    In the first six months, the goal is to lose 5 to 7 percent of your starting weight and get at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week.In the second six months, we focus on keeping that weight off, and if you haven’t reached your goal weight yet, we’ll continue to work on that.

    Be realistic. Plan actions that are achievable for you.Make it doable. Small changes add up over time.Be specific. Decide exactly what you’ll do, when, and where.Stay flexible. Life happens—adjust your plan if you need to.Focus on behaviors. The actions you take will lead to results.And finally, have fun! Find activities you enjoy.
