Step 2 — Track your eating habits and your symptoms with a Food Journal
Step 2 is all about learning to track what you eat and how it makes you feel. Keeping a Food Journal seems like a pain at first, but before long, you will find that you are starting to notice how you feel at various times of the day and you will start to make links to what you have been eating. You will become more aware of what you are eating. When I started keeping a Journal, I remember thinking ― "Wow! Do I really eat all that sugar every day?!" You can download a free copy of the Food Journal here.
