Quite so, and I think he does address that, but those are all second level factors, along with activity level, exercise, and their effect on your caloric requirements. He puts together a bunch of excel spreadsheets for tracking many factors, but I have found the simple discipline of accounting for what I eat in a little txt file on my phone sufficient to align my choices with my desired outcome.
- dorfsmay 1y agoExercise and activity are contributing to calories (calories out). These days there are apps that make it easy to track calories, macro and nutrients.
- taeric 1y agoOne of life's great annoyances to me, is how incredibly effective "just doing something" tends to be. To that level, the act of tracking things is a strong something that almost always shows results. Be it lists on how often something has been cleaned, or procedural checklists on things that need to happen. I'm convinced, at this point, that there is something mental on it, too. Getting you to think of something gets your body and mind to act differently towards it. Part of this was obvious to me when I had kids. If they fell, they would immediately look to the reaction of others around them. If people looked scared, they would feel more hurt than if people didn't react at all. If people were encouraging what they were doing, they would sometimes not realize something might hurt. But, back to my annoyance. As someone that hates tracking lists... why do they have to be so effective? :D
