Hunger Scale + Food Log
Food logging is a cricitcal Habit Foundation within the SoWell Method for longterm weight management.
But food logging this way isn’t like using MyFitnessPal or a diet app. You’re not counting calories, or even macros. You’re actually going to log a few things: what you ate and when, how hungry you were, and what mood you were in.
And you’re definitely not stressing about your log. The goal is to eat as usual, and record your choices and the circumstances around them without judgement. Missing a day or a meal isn’t a sign that you’re bad, or carless, or not meant for this journey. It’s a sign that you’re a human being adopting a new habit.
After downloading this digital version of the food log, store it wherever it’s most accessible – on your phone, tablet, or computer. Then, create a daily alarm to remind you to log. The best time to log is right after you eat – most people have terrible food recall, and by the time 24 hours have passed, they have no idea what they ate the day before.

Meal Planning is a critical Habit Foundation of the SoWell Method, putting you in the driver’s seat of your food choices.
It disentangles you from that relentless, never-ending question: What am I going to eat next? It allows you to think about your choices once a week, instead of twenty-one times, day in and day out. It allows you to make the majority of your food choices in an optimal state, when you’re well-fed and relaxed.
We recommend weekly meal planning: setting a time once a week to sit down with your calendar and plan out all the meals for yourself and anyone else you’ll cook for in the next seven days. Then, get the groceries you need or make a plan for shopping.
Long-term, weekly meal planning is the goal. But if that’s not the season you’re in, you can still get many of the benefits by using a daily meal planning tool too.
Guide to Low Carb Eating
Click here to download The SoWell Method Guide to Low Carb Eating.
Low-carb can be intimidating at first, but it’s a great option for GLP-1 users who aren’t losing weight or are losing too slowly. In cases of metabolic dysfunction, such as type 2 diabetes or PCOS, eating low-carb can help speed up the process of healing. For people with a very sensitive gut—dealing with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating, or Crohn’s disease—low-carb eating can be transformative, fixing years of what the gastroenterologist could not.
Within this guide, you’ll find an outline for SoWell Method approach to low-carb eating. Keep an open mind, remember to maintain emotional neutrality, and don’t be a perfectionist about it! The goal is progress, not perfection!
