Bought this journal a few month ago and finally got around to actually using it. The Nutrition Sidekick Journal by Habit Nest is very informative and it's specifically geared to me and my needs regarding what I eat. Even during the first week, I noticed improved energy, changes to my skin (for the better-probably due to the consistency drinking water), and I lost 3 pounds the first week (making small changes to my diet only). I would highly recommend.

I've only used the journal for a few days, but I really like it so far. I love the quality and the color of the book. The paper is very nice and takes fountain pen ink just fine (if that matters to you - it does to me). My only wish would be that the food planning area would be a bit larger. I have large handwriting, and if you are planning an entire meal, there isn't much room to write it all out. Other than that, I've loved the tips and the intro material - now, if it would just make the food for me so I wouldn't stray off course. :)

I have been using the Fat Loss & Nutrition Sidekick Journal for about a week now. I feel happier, stronger, more focused, and energized. I keep the journal with me most of the day and find myself using it throughout the day to log water intake and track progress. The journal is like a friend who gives me accountability, information and motivation to make good decisions about what and how much food to eat every day. One of the helpful "Pro-Tips" the book gave me early on to control hunger was splitting my meals into two halves and eating them within a short time period. The book encourages mindfulness, prompting me to ask myself questions like, "If I made this choice everyday, would I be a lot closer to my goals, or a lot further?" And reminding me of important things like, "Small, consistent victories add up quickly" and it is OK to waste food! throwing food into the trash so I do not overeat. It is helping me build a habit of eating healthy! I wasn't perfect my first week. I did overeat one of the days and the journal was there for me reminding me that I don't have to feel hopeless forever as long as I continue to believe in myself and make a real effort everyday.

I have enjoyed using this journal. The content is current and there are multiple different behavior change strategies to use. I have used online apps before but I find I enjoy having a book to flip back and forth through, checking in on my progress.

I, like most of you, have tried several programs to track food and stay motivated to eat healthier with varying levels of success. I am nine days in with The Nutrition journal and so far its working for me! I enjoy the daily "articles" and also like that it has me pre-plan my food for the next day. I just ordered one of the fitness journals to do in tandem with this one. Fingers crossed I find it equally motivating.
