Those who join fatblogging simply adapt and promote a lifestyle where they post their diet and exercising habits in their blogs. Although there are no strictly enforced rules on what constitutes fatblogging or not, Calacanis explains that it is not a weight loss competition because of motivational reasons.[1]
