    Make sure to eat above your calorie maintenance every 7-10 days to keep your metabolic rate from dropping and to reset leptin levels

    It's not meal replacement. It's a protein shake u take after training

    I never said it was a meal replacement. I'm saying Diet Whey is just a marketing ploy.

    Huh? Why would you disagree with this, especially when she is low carb and her bodyfat is already pretty low?

    Did she say what her body fat % is? You can be underweight and have a relatively high body fat %.

    OP, I would recommend that you eat at maintenance level, and get on a good progressive strength training program if you want to lower your body fat % in order to see your abs. 118 pounds is thin enough for your height. Don't worry about the number on the scale.

    As stated by @deksgrl - OP never stated her bf%. Never stated her training regimen. Leptin levels don't need to be "reset" every week, especially in the initial stages of a caloric deficit. Leptin levels will play a role at much lower bf% levels and much longer into a deficit. Metabolic rate will drop when weight is lost. Eating at maintenance won't "keep it from dropping". Move more to increase metabolism. TEFF plays a minimal role. @deksgrl is correct. A recomp and heavy lifting makes more sense. Without a training plan, OP's weight loss will result in more of a skinny fat look.

    To save argument my body fat percentage is 23.3% body fat mass 12.5kg I'm 28 5ft 4.6. I swim twice a week and at the moment do strength training at home (fitness blender strength training). I'm looking to start body pump class, but remember everybody I've only been at this a week lol

    Ahh... looks like I skimmed the thread too fast and filled in all the details myself. Yeah, you sound like a good candidate for a recomp. Don't let all that cardio distract you from heavy lifting.
