I guess if you are just trying to live healthy by doing a Keto diet and not wanting to lose weight, then it looks like you're doing just fine. There are many things a keto diet does for a person besides losing weight.

But if you goal is to lose weight, that's a different story. If you have only lost 1 pound in 4 months then your methods aren't working. I have been on the diet for 3 1/2 months and lost 40 lbs. I could not do it without logging and MFP.

What is your objective with the Keto diet?

I think if you're really trying to maximize weight loss and be perfect then you weigh everything and log absolutely everything at all times. Some people seem to do that well and get by just fine.

Personally, I log everything for a time if I get frustrated that I'm "losing too slowly" or I feel like I'm allowing portion sizes to creep up. Once I feel comfortable again I stop logging things for awhile. For me, there are times where the act of meticulously weighing and logging everything is part of my motivation and doing it makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something. There are other times where I feel like weighing and logging everything is simply smothering and makes me want to throw my hands up, say "screw this" and go eat a pizza just to spite everything.

In the end, I almost never log everything for more than 3 days in a row, or 5 days out of 7 at any point, and I will go weeks without logging things. I do think I eat more when I'm being less careful and my weight loss slows as a result, but I'm ok with that. I need this to be sustainable for a lifetime, not something where I race to my goal weight but hate everything about getting there.

I do think on Keto everyone should have a period of time at the start where they really do log everything for the first few weeks or month (and I did that when I started). Keto is a different way of eating and looking at food than most of us were raised with, so it takes a little time to develop the right knowledge and instincts about what's ok and what isn't.

But after that, I'd say its really personal preference on what helps you get to your goals in a sustainable way.

I've lost 15 pounds since August. When my weight loss slowed for 3 weeks, I made it a point to log everything. Now that I'm back to losing regularly, I'm not logging a lot. I think at this point, I have an idea how much carbs/fat I'm eating daily. Plus, I never go over my calories so I'm not worried about logging calories.
