Hello everyone,
When first starting keto, would I set my calorie goal at a “weight loss deficit” or at a “maintain” level? Is it ok to eat at a deficit before becoming fat adapted? I have 70 lbs to lose

Go ahead and set it to a deficit but if you get hungry eat more protein or fat and don't worry about going over. Keto is generally fairly quick for suppressing hunger for most people.
Good luck.3 -

Great advice.
I definitely agree with learning to follow hunger signals. It’s not uncommon to actually have very little hunger after only a few days.
I’ve always felt like hunger goes in waves. I’ll go a few days not needing much then be extra hungry for a few days and I just try to go with it as long as it’s not boredom hunger or craving sweets or something.3
