The Food Diary

I have been keeping a food diary, or journal for every week since I started taking Holistic Nutrition.
I analyzed the major vitamins in at least ten of the foods and beverages I had one day this week, and compared them to the vitamins in the foods and beverages I had on a day the first week I started the journal.
Comparing my findings, I see that I am getting the same amount of vitamins from the foods that I eat currently, compared to the first week. I have been in the habit of eating healthy nutritious food for quite some time now, so I didn't expect much or any vitamin difference.
Some of the other things included in the journal were moods, sleep, bowel patterns, body changes. Comparing this week to week one, I would say moods have been more positive, not as easily stressed. Sleep is the same because of my peri-menopause symptoms, although I have noticed that my munching on flax seeds has helped with the hot flashes. Bowel patterns are the same, I have upped my intake of fiber with whole grain bread, and my body is still trying to get used to it. Body changes, here's the good part. I have lost an inch in my waistline. I am crediting it to the 2 cups of green tea I drink every day, and eliminating a lot of sugar from my diet. I have been avoiding processed and refined foods, and foods with preservatives, which I am giving credit to for being less stressed.
