A companion to "The Best Life Diet," this handy, spiral bound book makes reaching your goals even easier.

The journal starts out with you writing down your vitals stats such as your weight, blood glucose, cholesterol, and so on. There are before and after sections on the same page so you can see if you ultimately reach your goals.

The book moves on to cover the goals of the three phases (readers of the book will already be familiar with these) and then divides into three parts- a section of similar pages for phase one, a section of similar pages for phase two, and a section of similar pages for phase three.

The phase one pages have you enter the date at the top of the page and then rate your activity level. Then follows 6 questions you answer at the end of each day, such as "did you eat at least three meals and at least one snack including a nutritional breakfast?" Other questions are about things such as your water and vitamin intake.

The page then ends with a place for you to enter aerobic exercise data and also includes a strengthening "grid" for you to document your reps, sets, etc. Phase 2 and 3 pages are the same, except that they have hunger scales included at the bottom of each page.

A must-have companion for those who are trying "The Best Life Diet," I found that its best strength is that it keeps you focused on reaching the right goals.

I love this journal. It is great once you read the Best Life Diet book. I like that the left side offers an easy checklist of things you need to do and the right side is a notes page where you can write your own thoughts or what you ate or whatever. I wish he had three different journals for each phase. there are things you explore in each phase and when this one runs out, I would rather have an entire journal just for Phase II. Probably a bit picky of me, I guess, but hey, journaling is becoming a food replacement for me so it's important.

The journal is not nearly indepth enough to do you any favors as far as tracking your progress. Wish I had known that before I purchased. What is should contain is spaces for information to go along with the book, like your answers to the very important question about "Why do you want to lose weight", which Mr. Green stresses is just as important as the number of calories or food types one consumes per day..... A weekly journal is not for one just starting the program. Until you have changed your eating habits, a daily journal would give you a better handle on progress and habit changes needed to be successful.

I returned the journal as I felt you could simply write down the information in a tablet. I was expecting more room to write down my thoughts. I was disappointed.

I have always found it helpful to write down my goals and track them. This journal helps with that. It compliments his book very well.

Gave me motivation at a time I desperately needed it. I know a journal is to be filled with your own thoughts but I found myself believing and being motivated. There is a special magic the book has that empowers you, I felt it and I hope you do to. Best of luck with your journey.

This really is a useless book. Bob Greene should just have put a copy of this 2 page form on his website or in one of his other books and saved us all the money we've spent. Don't buy it!

Love this very helpful and realistic stuff you can handle with your everyday life. I am very busy and still find time to do this. This really helps I have done diet pills, slim fast and other crazy things to loose weight. And I am telling you if you are ready to loose weight this is for you!

The Journal itself is spacious enough. The notations and comments from the auther give motivation and are uplifting to keep you on track.

Bob Greene is sharing his knowledge with us, while making the process to change our life plan much easier. By having this Daily Journal, we can track what our feelings are. We can also find out what our reason/s are for overeating. Love the fact that we can now know which products are good for us in the stores, by looking for his Best Life symbol.
