[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 744409, member: 18958"] Lil. I cannot lose weight at more than 1000 kcal and even then have a really hard time. I will lose weight at 500-700 kcal. My way of thinking is that it is better for me to bite the bullet and take the weight off (in my case 10 lbs) and then stabilize at 1000-1200 kcal. The alternative would be to be struggling forever. I don't want my nutrition to be a battleground. Better to do what is effective and can be accomplished in a tolerable interval. I had the most success with intermittent fasting but with a low calorie count (under 700) and small eating window: 6 hours. But that said, it's hard to sustain. I lost weight quick with keto but only in the beginning, first three weeks. I lost 6 pounds. But the weight loss stalled. I do not think keto is healthy for me but lower carb is: No white anything, no refined foods, no sweets, no simple carbs. Limited, if any fruit. But all the meat on keto was not good. I am greatly upping vegetables. I'm now doing WW. (Focus on veg, Greek yogurt, a few nuts and small amount of good protein.) I'm trying to stop eating at 2pm and I'm trying to keep calories below 1000 at the very most. Even with this I will be surprised if I lose weight. [/QUOTE]
