This book is a must have!:
I think this book is excellent and a must have for individuals that are looking to track what they eat. It's about the size of a Steno notebook and can easily fit in a medium purse or carried. Oh and it doesn't scream that I am dieting either, it looks like a normal book/notebook.
Easier Than I Thought !:
Being a diabetic, my doctor wanted me to start recording what I ate each day. My first thought was " God, this is going to be a PAIN." I was wrong. The journal is very easy to use.

It has a list of generalized food catagories with their nutritional values plus extra room for you to add your own things. I write everything down that I eat, even the bad... more info
Essential for any dieter.:
The most important part of any diet plan is awareness. You must know where you are at and where you are going and you must know what you are doing. The most essential facts of your intake and output can be tracked in this well organized planner. All you have to do is be faithful in making daily entries. It will work for you.
Happy with DietMinder:
I was looking for an inexpensive, thorough journal to keep me honest with food and exercise. It took me a few days to get the food amounts worked out: calories, carbs, fat, etc. After the initial, the same foods and beverages are used often, so it has gotten easier and more effective. It is a great tool to use for personal training and for dietician/nutrition evaluations as well.
