Hi folks,
Looking for a bit of advice, i’m ready to come off 800 to stabilise where I’m at for a while. The thing is, I’m just not hungry! (I know, worse things could happen right!). I’ve lost about 15kgs since late August so just coming up to 12 weeks. I’m 47, 5’4 (162cm) and down to 63.2kg. BMI 24.1. I could stand to lose a bit more but I’d rather stop and make sure I can maintain this. I’m aiming for a regular intake of no more than 1500 Cal (desk job and gym only twice a week). I’ve managed 850 some days, but I end up uncomfortably full. I don’t want to snack, as I’ve worked hard to break that habit in the last few months, I don’t want to pad meals with bread. I am eating salads with beans and sometimes roasted vegetables (beets or small quantities of sweet potato). I recently tried millet (awesome!) but again, added half cup to dinner and just ended up overfull and still barely managed over 800.
Any advice on adding some calories without feeling overstuffed?
Keep up the good work all of you, it’s been great reading posts here, very helpful!
