Put weight back on. No idea how help!!!

Do what the calc says calorie wise and don't drop lower until you lose 10lb and need to readjust. You should recalculate your goal every 10-15 lb. The body just needs less to run on as your weight drops. Going too little however and rushing it, is no bueno. All that will get you is a damaged metabolism and will hamper future weightloss. And make you cranky. Or at least it would me anyway.

Going too low isn't good, but, some people need to go to low to see results. Just saying we just aren't all the same.

Good lord, even 1300 seems pushing it for how low you'd want to go. This isn't a race!
I think for the OP it actually is. She's having knee surgery and wants to be as light as possible beforehand. Overall I agree, slow and steady...but I can see her point and why she wants to lose as much as possible. However, I think too many and too frequent "tweaks" will only confuse her more and make it even harder for her to figure out what works best for her.0 -
no its not a race , however I need to lose a certain amount prior to surgery at the end of April, and post surgery it will leave me house bound and unable to do ANYTHING much for 6 weeks. Hence the "race" and i have found anything above around 1300 and i dont lose anything. Possibly due to not exercising since my injury and my metabolism has slowed right down ( which happens to me when i dont work out a lot)Good lord, even 1300 seems pushing it for how low you'd want to go.

If you don't actually get ASMR (like you don't get the physical tingling sensation) then its probably going to be pretty darn weird. A lot of the roleplay and "personal attention" type videos are just completely odd to me. But the whispering, oh man. That stuff puts me to sleep. Whispering and tapping, I have like 200 vids in this playlist, some favorites I go to frequently, but they are almost all of that variety. Even within that narrow category though I find I'm picky. I actually have a pretty strong preference for languages that I can't understand, though a few English speakers work really really well for me too. Some are "too engaging" though and I find I want to listen to what they're saying closely and then I can't sleep.
Any sort of relaxing thing to help though is what matters. For me personally, I find things like "guided meditation/relaxation" videos distracting. The mindless rambling of an ASMR whisper vid though, bam, out like a light.
I should point out that I'm specifically talking about strategies I use to sleep, not general/overall stress management. I only listen to this stuff at bedtime, personally.
I tried the ASMR thingy. It worked!! nonesensical whispers.

by the way, with the tweeks i have been doing i have started losing weight again, and just wanted to thank everyone for all the sage advice given. a long way to go and now need to adress this listless muscle fatigue, which, after reading the other post I realise my potassium is really low as is sodium and magnesium, so looking into that , as it stands its just exhausting doing a 15 min stationary bike ride and have to stop for breaks, sooooooo far from the fitness i had this time last year.0

^^^yep, agree^^^
'...in fact, long-term weight management is not driven by calorie counting, but rather by changing the way our body treats the food we eat (i.e., burning fat versus storing fat).
As you’ll hear me say often, obesity is a disorder of inappropriately accumulating fat, not a disorder of eating too many calories...'

Ok so I have done everything I can to try and do this properly . Still no change. Only traces of ketones if at all most of the time. Just can't seems to do it ? Is it stress ? It's the only thing left I haven't tried unless my diet STILL isn't right. Happy for anyone to see my diary . I've been on this diet now for about 6weeks . Usually when I "diet" I would've lost about 5kg by now at least . I'm just at my wits end .0

I looked through your diary. I don't see that you tried a simple water fast yet. That forces your body to live on fat. Try it, you'll like it... Stop eating for one day. Eat soft foods the day before. Don't gorge yourself on the day when you break the fast. Start the fast, and if you just can't do a whole day, then eat just one time that day, with no snacks or otherwise before or after that ONE meal. But, you may feel pretty good and (its not as hard as you think it is) and just hold out and make it to the next day.
I hope this helps,

If you slip out of Ketosis you gain 5-10 pounds in water weight...(Thats same water weight you initially lost in the begining) Sometimes our bodies take a break from weight loss to work on other things that need working on. just be patient, keto on, and try not to stress about the number on the scale, rejoice in the way you feel and the way your clothes fit0

actually theres no change apart from half inch from waist. so clothes arent fitting any better and to be honest i feel like crap, not the energy wonderful feeling im meant to feel on this. i feel listless no idea why.0

ok im going to try it. I have done fasts before and tend to put it back on again right after, and i dont eat massive meals anyway. I did a fast once for 13 days where it was just vegetable juices like spinach and cucumber and emon, kinda gross but it was the healthest i ever felt and i lost 8 kg , which i kept off until i was injured. but obviously thats not one in this diet.embersdream wrote: »Ok so I have done everything I can to try and do this properly .

Are you supplementing for electrolytes? You need more potassium and magnesium. Easiest way to do this is with an chelated magnesium supplement and Lite Salt for potassium. This is really important.embersdream wrote: »actually theres no change apart from half inch from waist. so clothes arent fitting any better and to be honest i feel like crap, not the energy wonderful feeling im meant to feel on this. i feel listless no idea why.
