• Frequently Asked Questions Why do I have to write in a food journal? I’m too busy to write in a food journal. Because if you are most likely an emotional eater, your Get with the Program food journal is a vital tool to identify emotional eating patterns and behaviors that you are most likely unaware of. You can’t fix something unless you know what the problem is. A food journal helps identify it. Another use for the journal is when you feel like pigging out or overeating – stop – sip a glass of water and write your thoughts in your food journal. The feeling to pig out or overeat will pass. Your food journal aids you in that diversion. What are some of the steps to eating well on the program? They are actually
quite simple: Eat a nutritional breakfast because it starts the metabolism clock
and also staves off hunger later in the evening. Stop eating 2-3 hours before
going to bed. Redistribute your calories by eating more food earlier in the day
and less food later in the evening. And lastly, make healthful choices. Yes, it’s recommended that 50-60 percent of your calories be made up of carbs. Fruits, vegetables, and high fiber whole grains are the carbohydrates you will be eating. What’s the rest of the program link?

fats, and 15-20 percent protein. All foods should rank lower vs. higher on the

The lower the glycemic index rating, the better balance of insulin your body uses for fuel.

Some examples of low glycemic foods are green leafy vegetables, apricots, apples, couscous, oatmeal, most beans and peas, mushrooms, plain yogurt, most proteins, berries, and nuts.
Can I drink alcohol on Get with the Program?
Our recommendation is to eliminate but we still want you to enjoy your favorite
foods. If you like wine with dinner, consider a smaller glass and limit it to
one glass only. Alcohol slows down your metabolism. Also alcohol may cause you
to be less inhibited and make bad choices. Absolutely. Fifty-four million Americans eat out and you’re probably one of them. Here’s a tip: Approach eating out as you would if you were eating in. Going to a restaurant does not give you permission to go hog wild. Restaurant personnel are sensitive to dieters and will accommodate most of your requests like omitting mayonnaise and cheese from sandwiches, substituting salads or steamed vegetables for potatoes or white rice, not putting bread or chips on the table, ordering smaller portions, requesting nonfat milk instead of half-and-half for your coffee, grilling without fats or oils, and other healthful choices for your successful weight loss.
