[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1990635, member: 408573"] I feel that the problem may be doing a low calorie [I][B]and[/B][/I] low carb diet at the same time. In my opinion this has failure written all over it and here's why; hunger and weakness. Carbs and fats fill us up, cutting both will leave you hungry and more likely to crash. The weakness will come from a lack of calories because this is where we get our energy. I would advise that you choose one diet or the other and your chances of maintaining sustainable weight loss whilst enjoying good energy levels will be improved. Personally, I am not an advocate of ND because I feel that it requires two major changes to dietary habits, the first is the change to shakes and the second is the change from shakes back to real food. It is this refeeding that concerns me. With LCHF there is a slightly slower change from the normal western diet to a lower carb diet that can be adjusted to taste as you go and the range of foods only widens as the palate changes. This is just my experience and of course you must do as you see fit but your plan seems more like a severely restricted calorie diet almost akin to a starvation mode. [/QUOTE]
