I've had amazing success with LCHF and in the last 5 months have lost over 30kg and got my HbA1c down to non-diabetic levels. I'm now within spitting distance of my target weight so need to think about what I need to change in order to stop losing weight (I never imagined I'd be in that position 5 months ago )
Up until now, I've stuck to around 1,300 - 1,500 calories a day with < 25g of carbs (normally < 20g) but probably need to up that to 2,000-2,500 which seems like an awful lot more calories and I'm a bit stuck on how to do it as I never feel hungry and really don't want to eat for the sake of eating and feel bloated all the time.
Can anyone suggest ways to increase the calories and how best to do it (without eating blocks of lard ) - should I increase gradually or in a single step?
