If you are focusing on weight loss then I personally wouldn't suggest it because it still calories. It's still food and it doesn't really change the problems we have being overweight.

A better direction is a food diary for a week so you can see just how much you really are eating.

Seriously, food diaries reveal things that you may not have noticed before. You will truly see that calories could add up very quickly.
For some people, picture diaries are great for motivation too. ^_^ Take a pic every couple of months or so and watch your progress.

Welcome!
