Have you ever noticed that certain foods leave you feeling tired, while others seem to make you feel better? Sometimes, the connection between what we eat and how we feel is not immediately obvious.
In this video, Adeline Arjad shares a simple practice she recommends: tracking what you eat for 28 days and paying attention to how you feel throughout the day.
It’s not about following a strict diet or keeping a food log forever. It’s about taking a little time to observe your habits and discover patterns that you might otherwise overlook.
📝 Keep a Food Journal for 28 Days
Adeline recommends logging what you eat for 28 days. Writing everything down can help you become more aware of your eating habits and how your body responds.
You may begin to notice things you hadn’t paid attention to before. For example, Adeline realized that certain foods seemed to leave her feeling tired in the afternoon.
🔍 Look for Patterns
Sometimes, we assume that feeling tired or experiencing changes in our energy is simply due to hormones, a busy schedule, or other factors. But keeping a record can help you explore possible connections.
Along with what you eat, you can also note whether you exercised and how you felt during the day.
Over time, reviewing your notes may help you recognize patterns between your meals, activities, and energy levels.
🌱 Make It a Short-Term Practice
One important point Adeline makes is that this practice is not something you need to do for the rest of your life.
The recommendation is to try it for just 28 days. The goal is to gather information, become more aware of your habits, and learn something about your own experiences.
You don’t need to make it complicated. A simple notebook or digital journal can be enough to get started.

Understanding our bodies often begins with paying attention. Small observations can help us become more aware of our daily habits and how they affect the way we feel.
Adeline’s 28-day food-tracking suggestion is a simple way to start noticing those patterns. Rather than making assumptions, take a little time to record your meals, activities, and how you feel.
Remember, everyone’s body and experiences are different. The goal is not perfection, but awareness and learning what works for you.
