Although I m not officially diagnosed as prediabetic but I consider my self at higher risk for diabetes after having two gestational diabetic pregnancies.
I started keto diet after that raised 2 hour ogtt and I must say I am enjoying this journey. I am loosing .1 to .4 kg per day (1 kg per week) and that feel is amazing .
I am not taking any carbs just some unavoidable things like tomatoes and onions .I am taking proteins but not taking too much fats just cheese .Just wondering how much calories I should consume? I am not counting my calories but I am sure I am well under 1000 calories as I take just 2 meals.
 
I do not worry about calories in my LCHF lifestyle. I replace the energy I get from carbs with energy from healthy fats so it is the source of calories that is important to me rather than the number of calories.
 
Are you hungry? Do you feel the way you are eating is sustainable? Personally I would say you may be in danger of slowing your metabolism with so few calories.. others no doubt would disagree..
 
A very short video from one who knows.
