Another "opinion poll" type question,.....When and how do you log your activity here on FS ? I notice some people log EVERY SINGLE THING, so that the entire 24hrs is accounted for. Whereas, others only log workouts, and some do not log at all. I am trying to figure out a way to utilize this feature to my benefit, but I am not sure how. It doesn't seem to have the same motivating effect on me as the food logging does. Do any of you really consider, at the end of the day/week, what your calorie deficit was?

I don't really worry about logging my activities. At first I would, but overall find logging of food is the most important for me. The food diary allows me to see on one page how many calories I am consuming, how much fat, fiber, protein, carbs and I set goals for each of those.

So far I've tried logging activity - but only where I'd call it 'exercise'. One day I included a few things I normally do - standing, cleaning etc. - I think that would get onerous for me. I do log 99.9% of what I consume - except water, and this works for me. Glad to ready you can link Fitbit and FS - Anyone know if you can link Myfitnesspal to FS? I use both - the fitbit mostly just for steps, which I've never recorded here - haven't really gotten into CICO - thinking I'll look at that when I feel I've mastered KETO. Great question #Adoptspring - I've enjoyed reading what people do/don't do and why... Have a super weekend everyone!

I was logging every single activity, then got frustrated with it. Now, I do not log exercise at all. The facts are that CICO is a false scale. It parallels what leads to weight loss, but it does not cause it. If you don't get enough nutrition, the body starts shutting down to conserve energy -- EVEN WHEN THERE ARE PLENTY OF FAT RESERVES. (Oddly, fasting does not do this. Research the writings of Doctors Jason Fung, Ben Kim, or Pompa.) The important scale is WHAT you eat, because it has to have the macro and micro nutrients your body needs. Allergies also play a part. ***Pay attention to how your body responds. A helpful book was written in 1996 by Dr. Peter D'Adamo. It discusses the different nutritional needs of humans based on blood type. The science was compelling. This convinced me to try the ketogenic lifestyle, which has proven to be the best for me.

Throughout my weight loss I estimated my maintenance saying I was sedentary all day. I never wrote down the little things n I did not take into a account the weight lifting. I view that as extra

I log everything, but i also do a fair amount of guesstimating and ballparking. I also overestimate a lot. So far it is working but if it stops working i will need to be more exact. With the exercise, i am logging it but not eating those calories.
