Still learning ... and seeing the benefits of keto for the first time. First, I'm not hungry. I can eat a lot of food in one sitting if I'm not careful. However, with planned meals, I don't overeat. Second, I'm getting full on little food, if I stop eating. It takes a few minutes to feel full.

The stress has been high at work this week. With a big deadline looming, I'm curious if that will cause havoc with my weight loss. Nevertheless, I have a big loss for the previous week, I'm VERY happy with it!

The plan moving forward this week is to limit carbs and calories. I'm basically training for longer periods of IF. I would like to get to 18/6. Today I fasted for 17 hours, with coffee in the morning. I think the trick for me to get longer hours is to stop eating earlier in the night. It's like clockwork each morning at 10am for me to want a breakfast.

So... FS ... what's the deal with too little calories? If I average 1200/day for the the week, is that okay? Some days, 700 is fulfilling. I could eat more, but do I have to?

if you go too low your body can be negatively effected. guage your weight loss weekly and if you are losing more than 1 to 1 /12 pounds a week on average it is probably a good idea to raise your calories by 100 increments. we don't count the first burst of water weight loss. all the guides are just that, guides everyone is different on their RDI because no one calculation works for everyone. you need to make sure you get enough protein to protect your lean muscles too, which is more difficult when you go so low in calories
