Why Use Notion For Weight Loss Tracking?

To understand why Notion is an excellent tool for weight loss, we need to consider what the 10% of people who successfully complete their weight loss journey do right and what the 90% who gain the weight back do wrong.

We also need to examine what’s missing from popular ‘solutions’ like diet fads, weight loss pills, 3-week intensive boot camps, and quick-fix exercise programs.

For long-lasting, effective weight loss, you must change how you think about your body, diet, and fitness. This change in behavior doesn’t come from quick hacks.

You need a permanent solution that aligns your daily habits and behavior with your new, slimmer identity.

Here’s why I believe Notion is the perfect tool for weight loss:

1. No Subscription Fee: Notion is free, so it supports you until you achieve your goal and keeps you fit without additional costs. Motivation can be like a fire that sometimes goes out. When this happens, we often cancel memberships, skip fitness classes, and revert to unhealthy habits. Relighting that fire can be tough, especially when faced with rejoining fitness programs and researching new weight loss methods.

2. Reduced Friction: Notion provides a system where all areas of weight loss are in one place. You can easily jump back into your plan, see your new targets, and access your favorite meals and workouts without any hassle. This reduces the friction of regaining motivation.

3. Holistic Approach: With Notion, everything can be in one place. Your broader goals are broken down into actionable targets, which are further broken down into habits and daily actions. It ensures that fitness, diet, and mental health are connected and managed together, preventing any area from being neglected and derailing your progress.

Imagine having a tool that keeps you on track with your fitness goals, even when motivation dips. Notion can be that tool, helping you seamlessly manage your weight loss journey.

My Notion Weight Loss Tracker Template

I’ve talked to a lot of people who are trying to lose weight. They’ve given me loads of feedback and suggestions on what they want to see from a weight loss tracker. Common themes kept coming up: more ways to track progress, easy to use on a mobile and customization.

Since launching my Notion weight loss tracker template, I've received over 100 downloads and released 6 new versions!

In this blog post, I’ll share the features and capabilities of this setup which you can download and start using for yourself today!

Features

Set Targets

You are 43% more likely to achieve your goal just by writing down a target.

To achieve fast weight loss, I believe it's important to set a time-bound weight goal. This will keep you motivated and on track throughout your weight loss journey.

Using the template I can set a target easily!

Using Notion, you can now see your weekly and monthly weight loss targets. These numbers are very useful in maintaining consistent progress and it also allows you to work out targets for your nutrition and fitness which I’ll talk about later.

These targets are automatically updated when you track your progress.

Tracking Progress

The template has a number of ways you can track your weight loss.

The daily log table allows you to input your weight, energy, mood and body fat.

Having the ability to track your energy and mood is important if you spot negative trends which may indicate your daily calories or lifestyle needs adjusting.

You also have the option to track your body measurements and store any progress pictures.

Notion Diet & Nutrition Targets

Inside the weight loss tracker template, you will be able to set nutrition targets and manage your diet.

Managing the calories you consume is one of the best ways to ensure you lose weight.

Finding Your Daily Calorie Deficit

Remember the weekly weight loss target we had? You can input this figure into the calorie calculator and your daily calorie target, BMR and calorie deficit amount you need to reach your goal will be shown.

It will also warn you if your calorie deficit is too extreme ensuring your weight loss dieting is safe and manageable.

Setting Macro Targets

If you want to go one step further in setting nutritional targets, you can use the macro calculator to determine what levels of proteins, carbs and fats you should aim for to achieve your lifestyle and weight loss goals.

Notion Meal Planning

One of the main features of the Notion weight loss tracker template is the ability to create meals and meal plans that align with your nutrition targets.

You can find 30+ ingredients already added with macros and calories.

To create a meal, all you need to do is add the ingredients and amounts and the macros and calories are automatically calculated.

Meal Planning

To help stick to your weight loss diet, create a meal plan for the week. Add your meals and the total calories and macros are calculated. Compare these totals to the nutritional targets from before and adjust to ensure your diet aligns with your weight loss goal.

Notion Fitness Tracking

To cover all areas of fast and effective weight and fat loss, it's good to create a fitness and workout routine.

Inside the weight loss tracker template, you can create a workout plan. This helps create a routine you are more likely to stick to.

Or you can choose any of the existing calorie-burning workouts.

Track On Your Phone

Every aspect of the Notion weight loss template can be used on the page optimized for mobile use. This reduces the friction of tracking your progress so you don't fall back into bad habits.

Daily Habits & Tracking

Each day you can input your meals or manually input your calories and the totals for the day are shown. Compare these against your nutrition targets to see if you’re on track.

You can also use these daily pages to track habits you want to build and write down a journal entry to ensure you prioritise your mental health during your weight loss.

Conclusion

Notion is a great tool to track and improve your health and achieve weight loss. Every aspect is fully customizable and easy to use.
