Research shows that logging food is an extremely high predictor of success, and I agree. I frequently, in the beginning, thought about---I would need to exercise an extra 2 hours for something I would enjoy for two minutes-- that helped to make better choices.
Great job, keep up the good work!
What 95% of the medical/dietetic world lacks in studies and general knowledge is the effect of a regular exercise program can do to boost metabolism. They surely know it is a good thing but from what I have noticed is they lack real world knowledge. And they think cardio (running, treadmill etc) is king. This is not true.
