Good old Hacker's Diet. Calorie counting with a target adjusted by a moving weighted average of daily weight measurements.
You've had success with it? What did you do to make it informal?
I used his Palm Pilot app which tells you how long ago I first tried it.
- taneq 8y agoI made it informal basically by being lazy. :P If I was more than 2-3kg over my target weight then I'd just eat the minimum calories I can get away with without getting cranky (~1500ish). Once I reached my target weight I totted up crude calorie counts in my head each day (sandwich = 400, biscuit = 100, plate of nachos = 800, that sort of level of detail), keeping the total under my current target. Then I weighed myself every morning, and if I was over my target weight for the whole week, I'd reduce my target calories by 100 or so. If I was under for the whole week, I'd increase my target calories. It's kept at my target weight (barring a couple of brief lapses of willpower... I'm a bit tubby at the moment!) for most of the last decade. :)
