[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2174902, member: 506169"] Perhaps I was lucky when I started LCH, in that since I'm a TOFI and thus thought I didn't need to lose weight, I didn't reduce overall calories. In fact I'm fairly sure that my calories actually went up for the first 2 or 3 weeks since all I did was cut back on the Carbs and eat as much Protein and Fat as I liked in order to feel full. But even this meant that my stomach shrunk, because of eating smaller overall volumes. Later when my body had apparently adapted to using Fat, I found that I was no longer always hungry at Breakfast - so in those cases I would just skip that meal and rely on my internal body fat to supply my energy needs. Anybody trying to do the same thing too soon - before their body is fat adapted, will suffer hunger and possibly even a slow down of their metabolic rate. That would make BG control and sustained weight loss even harder and is the reason that most crash dieters ultimately fail. I recall somebody on Twitter saying they had lost much more total weight with weightwatchers than with LCHF - because with LCHF they lost it once and kept it off, instead of losing it , gaining it and more back, losing it etc. [/QUOTE]
