[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to go well below the recommended daily calories. I guess I’m also unintentionally doing intermittent fasting? Zero white carbs, only eating lean protein and vegetables, lots of my meals are homemade soups. Basically only eat lunch and dinner, and try and make those meals really nutritious. [/quote]

Same. I'm 53 and can lose weight, but I have to eat very, very little. Well below the 1200-1500 calories per day recommended for weight loss. And then my hair falls out and I start getting dizzy. [/quote]

I think your metabolism needs a serious reset in order to function properly. If you’ve been restricting like this for a long time, you’ve probably lost sight of what’s normal and your hunger cues aren’t syncing. I’d recommend seeing a registered dietician to guide you back to healthy eating. And get a DEXA scan.

I went from consuming 1100-1200 calories in September to 1300-1400 in October/November to 1500-1600 in December/January now to 1700-1800. It was hard to trust the process, but I actually lost .5 pounds a week while increasing calories and working out 3-4 times a week.[/quote]
