Thanks KD. I'm coping ok on 810 (have just started my 2nd wk and it's the first time I've ever done CD at all).
I was pretty lethargic last wk but have improved this week. I do still get hungry but I think it's because I'm not really enjoying my protein meals and haven't been eating enough. TBH I would prefer 4 shakes a day than 3 shakes and a meal but didn't think I should be doing that at my current BMI.
I have also been paranoid about muscle loss and really want to hit the weights and increase cardiovascular activity. If I step up to 1000 kcals and increase my activity levels I hoped to expect similar losses as I will be burning off that extra 200ish cals through exercise. I just don't want to confuse my body and cause it to grab on to any extra carbs and fat I take in on the higher plan. Do you think it will give me a chance to stabilise if I do another wk on 810 then and wait til next week to hit the weights? I do still have plenty of visible fat (thighs and bum) but tummy is hard to tell because of excess skin from 6st lost.
Sorry for all the questions KD, but you are a total star at answering!
