"The Hunger Mood" is genious. Calorie counting never worked for me. If I'm focused on calories I'm focused on food and I wanna eat. Same with the daily scale number--too many variables to pretend it's a measure of my daily progress. It is all about DON'T POKE THE TIGER. Which for me is remaining in ketosis. I can meander peacefully and intuitively around food while in ketosis. If my hunger mood is aroused with cheese or a handful of nuts, it is a FIGHT with that tiger.

Agreed. I've become very detached with the minute details and tracking I used to pay attention to a couple years ago. It was valuable at the time, as that exercise gave me a structure and an approach for a WOE that worked and still works for me. Becoming more detached lately without worrying about details also works. It's easier. A WOE has become a WOL.
