Food and Exercise Journals Required By Insurance

Bakomom · August 11, 2011

Hey guys,

I have a question regarding how much exercise insurances typically deem as acceptable when they require a six month exercise log. How many days per week are they expecting you to have exercised and for how long?

Also, I was originally only told that I needed to log exercise and was just recently told I should do a food log and to ""try to remember back." Yeah right, like I can remember what I ate every day for the four months prior to hearing this!

Do anyone have an example of what their logs looked like and an idea of what the insurance company is looking for? I am so scared that they are going to find some tiny little thing and deny me the surgery.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

I think it's really difficult to guess what they want. I suggest you contact your insurance company directly and ask them these specific questions. I used a food log typical of something you would find at a Weight Watchers meeting but yours might be totally different. Good luck
