Do you keep a food journal?

Do you keep a food journal? If so, what do you enter and do you keep track of calories as well? Carbs?

I'm interested in knowing what other people do in their food journals, whether they are trying to lose weight or are just maintaining a diary for good health reasons.

I know that so many experts and weight loss programs believe food journaling is one of the keys to success, and it makes me wonder why it makes such a difference.

Is there a healthy hot dog?

My family does not eat hot dogs very often, but we do enjoy them. It's awful to think about what is in some of them. yuck!

I've heard about the kosher all-beef kind. I realize most of them probably have a week's worth of salt. Are there hot dogs out there that are actually good for you, or at least, on the healthier-side?

Vegetarian weight loss?

25

I have been a vegetarian for 7 years. Coincidentally, my weight has been slowly rising for about that length of time. Part of the weight gain has to do with menopausal changes, but I know the biggest part is due to my diet.
