Just want to step in here before a war breaks out...

I don't think food journaling is a simple right/wrong
issue. I think for some people at some times it can be
useful or at least educational. For others (and do I
think the majority falls into this camp), it is a
grueling chore.

Though it's not incompatible with the nosdiet, it's
certainly not a necessary part of it. The idea is that
the nosdiet rules make it easy to get a sufficient
sense of what you are eating without having to
explicitly keep track of every morsel.

As I've written on

Are there any guiding principles shared by all the
systems?

Yes. Here they are:

...

* No keeping track of things. None of the systems
require you to keep track of anything beyond the day
of the week, what planet you are on, etc. You have too
many things to keep track of already.

* Small temporal footprint. They are designed to be
minimally intrusive, timewise. Ideally, the systems
should free up time, not take more of it.
