Take photos

Writing down what you’ve eaten is helpful, but sometimes, it doesn’t give the whole picture – literally. You may eat something that wouldn’t typically cause you an upset stomach, or following a diet that shouldn’t be causing weight loss – but it is. Maybe it’s, say, oatmeal. If you look at the photo, you may realize that that particular oatmeal came with seeds mixed in, which may cause an upset stomach.
