Good article!

Related to the psychology of eating, I know they say it's not necessary to log your food while doing a Whole30, as one of the goals is to retrain your body to recognize what the right amount of food is, yes? And yet - so many of us have been logging for SO LONG, that it's going to be emotionally difficult to refrain from doing so once we begin the plan.

Do those of you who have done this before have any hints for the rest of us? Is it really as simple as "just stop logging"? I was wondering about maybe removing all macro columns and only giving myself the calorie column (because I don't think you can remove all columns, right?) - that way I can at least keep notes about what the heck I'm actually eating, even if it's just out of curiosity. Then at the end of the month, I can turn the macro columns back on and see what kind of levels I was actually (naturally) eating at.

And yeah, I do tend to treat my body as a science experiment, heh.

I guess I like the idea of logging, as it's so easy for me to do something like...make 2 eggs in the morning and call that good, totally skipping the veggies. The same can be true at lunch. But if I have to log my meals, I'll be more aware that I'm missing something (and also have to own up to if I ate something NOT compliant), so I think I will log, just for those reasons. I won't get too excited over the actual calorie totals, though.
