welcome to the traeheart Learning Channel I am Ray Upchurch today on the
traeheart Learning Channel we're going to be talking about self monitoring
stick around last week I told you we were going to be talking about self
monitoring before we do that just a quick report on how I am doing with my
diet since last week I haven't lost three pounds so for those of you that
are keeping track I have lost a total of twelve pounds
since I've started so this means I have twelve pounds left before I start my
neck smart goal okay on with show what is self monitoring self monitoring is
one of the cornerstones of behavioral health interventions which is linked to
successful weight loss there are a lot of ways to self monitor common examples
include writing down what you eat recording your physical activity and
weighing yourself regularly in short self monitoring involves tracking where
you are now and charting your short and long-term progress why should we self
monitor monitoring food intake has been shown to help individuals become more
aware of what and how much they need to eat and drink along with the amount of
calories they have consumed along with monitoring food intake monitoring body
weight and physical activity can and does help prevent weight gain and
improve outcomes what is the evidence behind self
monitoring the 2010 DGAC conducted a systemic review examining the
relationship between diet self monitoring and body weights in
adults the systemic review included seven
studies published between 2000 and 2009 six were randomized control trials and
one was a non randomized control trial 6 of the 7 reviewed found that diet cell
monitoring was associated with greater weight loss and one study found no
relationship between diet self-monitoring and weight loss what are
some of the benefits of self monitoring one you eat less people who record what
when and/or how much they eat and/or their weight they usually eat less and
lose weight as a result - you will exercise more when people record their
exercise they tend to enjoy their exercise more and exercise more as well
3 you'll get more immediate gratification one of the reasons dieters
fail is because they don't see the immediate gratification tracking your
food and exercise gives you feedback and will help you know what contributed to
or detracted from your weight loss goal this gives you the immediate feedback
you need for your weight loss goals become easier to achieve self tracking
helps make your goals more manageable and less overwhelming 5 you can make a
game of your diet like sports dieting is not always easy or fun but it is
rewarding and worth it this competition is only with yourself and allows you to
make each day better than the last the like sports
you don't want to overdo it and you need to know when to stop as we don't want to
start to contribute to an eating disorder 6 is flexibility our diet can
be a flexible allowing us to choose when what or how to eat I work shifts so this
is very important to me I have to regularly
change when I eat and on my days off it allows me for eating at a restaurant
should I choose to seven you can avoid the old crumbs effect this will help you
put situations into perspective like thinking you have blown your diet
because you gave in to the temptation to overeat really
you have only slowed your progress down for that day but if you don't give up
then you could still reach your weight-loss goal eight you can enjoy
your favorite foods without feeling guilty last week I told you one of the
things I liked about primarily focusing on calories meant I could eat anything I
want yes trust me I have not given up on the chocolate it should be noted though
even though I don't feel guilty I do try to keep things in perspective with
healthy choices I know eating chocolate three times a
day might be tasty and if I kount the calories I would stay within my calorie
limits but I would also miss out on other nutrients my body needs 9 you can
avoid weight loss plateaus weighing and recording your weight can help you make
adjustments to your diet and exercise as needed if you noticed you are falling
behind you can exercise more and eat less if needed so how are you doing have
you put down your smart doable set have you chosen the diet you will follow
