Tracking Tips

1. Do not choose anything more than 1 pound of weight loss per week… ease into your new habit!

2. Only track 4-5 days initially. The purpose of Live Strong is to give you a better idea of what you are currently consuming compared to what you should be consuming. It’s a great tool to use as a “reality check” once every 4-6 weeks.
