Rate Your Diet

This questionnaire is not about what you know; it is about what you eat. These questions are designed to give us a rough sketch of your current eating habits and help us determine the best dietary guidelines for you at this time. If after completing this questionnaire you would like more detailed dietary guidelines and/or support, please see Optimal Body Balance.

Before starting, it helps to know exactly what you're eating. Many people are self-delusional about what they eat (actually, most of us are :-). They think they eat better than they do. To avoid deluding yourself, keep a food diary for three to seven days -- more is certainly better (log it into your MBG Food Journal)! Write down everything that goes into your mouth--and be specific. If you eat a ham sandwich for lunch, note the type of bread, how many slices of ham, and all the trimmings and condiments. Keeping such a record will heighten your awareness of your eating patterns and give you a realistic starting point.

In fact, keep a food diary ongoing in your MBG Food Journal. It will become a great reference tool as you progress to see what works and what doesn't work for you. It will also keep you aware of your food choices. In fact, here's a little exercise you can try: go through your food diary and circle vegetables--including beans--with a green-colored marker, fruits with orange, and whole grains with brown. We want colorful diaries :-) - if there's not a lot of color, you need to add some color, and some fruits and vegetables, into your life!
