One of the most beneficial things I’ve ever done, thanks to Ginny Johnson of http:// www.urbananimalwellness.com, was to track how I felt before and after I ate foods.

How it works is that you rate your hunger from a 1-10 before and about 45 minutes after you eat, and also how you feel physically and emotionally before and after eating foods. If you can do this for ALL of your meals throughout the day, even better. You may start to notice, as I did, that you consistently feel tired after you eat certain foods, even though you would have never imagined that would be.

Please refer to the book for more details on this activity.
