It’s what I call it when I’m not tracking
Strict or Lazy? Vote in comments. Just for fun folks
It’s the reason that I posted this. Many people that struggle with “weight” for years become control freaks. I see it as a trainer so I wanted people to see that it’s something (being a control freak) is useful for a time when starting but there needs to be time to learn to enjoy life by giving your brain a rest as you learn to simply enjoy everyday knowing that you can eat right without stressing about everything. Thank you!
Strict.
I started off Lazy, and a lot of weight came off.
This January, my work’s wellness plan (Virgin Pulse) grants us extra points for tracking calories so I’ve started back with MyFitnessPal. Can’t lose a pound to save my life now. :grumbles:
Oh, wow… how do I classify this? I’m sensitive to just about everything, so my foods list is very short - meat and eggs. I’m strict about that and I have a rough protein goal for the day, so I keep that in mind… but I don’t track any of it in an app.
After 2-1/2 years I am still strict in tracking my food but lazy in carb allowance range. My total carb upper limit is 50 grams, so net is considerably less. I’ll vote as lazy, but I don’t feel it’s a true designation for my controlled WOE.
Started off tracking everything. Now I just keep an eye on carbs. I shall stay lazy until I stall. I IF & EF and try to eat when I eat and fast when I fast. Sometimes I struggle with that because I worry I don’t always eat enough on my eating days. Should you force food down when you’re not hungry? But sometimes I have coffee with cream when I fast. Oh dear its a worry isn’t it
I’ve been told by forum members that I am not eating enough but I can only eat so much at one sitting. Totally enjoying what I am eating, but still. Now I do know for a fact that pre keto it was way easier to get calories. Bags of potatoe chips, fries. You can’t just eat one chip!
I have been lazy with Keto from the start. No tracking of food up until recently. It’s mind blowing how many carbs are in many unsuspecting foods. I never tested ketones. I weigh and measure myself regularly to keep track of progress. Even IF is done lazily with me. I find being strict with counting and/or tracking becomes a stressful job that I don’t want to clock in for!
Lazy.
I check blood ketones and blood glucose every morning though. If the BK number shows that I’m out of ketosis, I’m able to figure out what I did wrong on the day before.
