Product Description
The DietMinder is a deluxe food and exercise diary. It consists of 240 pages for up to three months of steady record-keeping. (Each day is a two-page spread.) It has a flexible spiral binding for ease in writing and comes in either dark green or salmon colors. At 6 X 8.5 inches the DietMinder is small enough to carry in most purses yet large enough to write in easily. The attractive leatherette cover and vinyl pocket-page (for holding recipes, workout schedules, etc.) are other features that make the DietMinder special.

The daily pages which make up the heart of the DietMinder provide plenty of space for keeping track of what and how much you eat, the nutritional counts, the time of day foods were eaten, and totals for the day. (Columns are provided to monitor up to seve n food counts including fat grams, calories, cholesterol, etc.) In addition, there is space for listing vitamins, supplements or dietary aids taken. Rounding out each daily record is the physical activity box where the time spent or amount of your activity can be listed, as well as the intensity level and calories burned.

In the front of the DietMinder are pages where you can list your goals and how you plan to achieve them. Here you can also list your "before" measurements so you can monitor your progress on the graphs and charts provided in the back of the book.

A featured section in the back of the DietMinder is "Favorite Foods Facts". This is extremely handy for creating a personal index of counts for the foods you eat most often. In other words, for recipes you use frequently, you can add up the counts for the ingredients one time, list them here (by portion), and avoid having to do these calculations again!
