[quote=Anonymous]So, I’ve been trying to lose weight forever and nothing has worked.  I have finally begun losing weight - over 16 weeks I have lost about 15 pounds by moving to a very low net carb, high protein diet with an intermittent fasting window of 11-7.  Total calories are about 1000 a day. At this rate I lose a little less than 1 pound a week - so sustainable from that perspective.  And, yet, it seems crazy.  1000 calories seems very low, although I am not hungry due to the high protein.

I would like to lose weight a bit faster, but cutting calories lower than 1000?  That doesn’t sound healthy?

Is my metabolism normal?  What can I do to increase it that won’t also increase hunger? Exercise? what kind? different eating - cycle between fasted days and higher calorie days?  Have cheat days?

I’m glad to be losing weight but the caloric intake seems unhealthily low; however, eating more and being so overweight I was nearly obese also seems
unhealthy.

Or do I just have to be patient and consider that this really is my metabolism and my norm?  Is a thousand calories a normal daily calorie allowance for weight loss? [/quote]
