Hi @Fo, I'm no expert on this, being fairly new to low carbing, and I'm very happy with the weight loss as I need to lose it.

If I wanted to maintain though, I think upping calories from fat would work. Would fat bombs help, maybe?

What are you eating? What do you consider too much? In 3 weeks you may well only have lost some water weight.

When you say to avoid losing too much, does that just mean you need to halt the weight loss, or you need to put some weight on again?

@Fo , if you find yourself still losing the you could consider upping the protein a but, then if that doesn't work increase the fats.

When I need to halt weight loss, that's what I did.

Im lucky, I hit the magic number. my body has hit around 75-77kg (dripping wet from the shower) and stayed at that. Now for 5 weeks

if I have not had a decent nob of butter in my coffee 1st thing I wont make the evening meal without serious hunger pangs and even hands and feet going cold. An unpleasant experience at best.

Oddly I have found polish sausage to be a very good hunger stopper. its high protein and moderate fat with some good meat protein. Traffic light system has it as bad. From our point of view its perfect.

Losing a lot of weight fast isn't a problem medically. What is your problem with it Fo?

I'm kind of guessing that you didn't need to lose weight in the first place or if you did, just a small amount?

I'd try what has been suggested, add more protein and fat. It's what I do also.
