Basically, the article summarizes a study done by the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  In the study, researchers asked 43 or so participants to either photograph or write down everything they ate in a day.  At the end of the study the people that photographed their meals kept more accurate records and were less likely to overeat.

Sounds like a recipe for successfully sticking to your diet/lifestyle to me.  Personally, I have found that logging my food in Fitday helps me by not allowing me to fudge the number of calories and Zone blocks I am eating on a daily basis.  The problem with logging my food in Fitday is if I am sick or away from the computer for an extended period of time I sometimes forget the quantities that I eat.  Additionally, part of the reason I bought my LG Dare phone was the great built in camera.  Now I have a good reason to use the camera as well as add motivation to eating healthy.  Watch for upcoming picture posts of the food I am eating.  I doubt it will be appetizing as I am currently working on just eating correctly and not presentation.

Chow for now.
