Hi,

Everything I am going through is in the title of the discussion. I am so full, even with little eating. Feeling too full to eat anything big, but need the calories, especially since I am exercising quite a bit.

Did any one go through that? Any easy remedies? I started eating seeds as a way to get calories, but I need some variety that is low on carb and that is not too overwhelming for a full stomach.

Thanks,
snha

    Macadamia nuts? Or maybe try adding some avocado to a meal?

    Are you overweight? Then you have calories.
    If not overweight, I would need to know more about what you’re eating specifically

    I am over weight, but feeling really weak if I have no calories in me. Today was tough for many hours, but got better in the evening (it helped I got a bit hungry). I am assuming I need to eat 1500 calories at least!

    What's a typical day of food look like?

    I know exactly what you're going through, snha. I find I can't even finish the meals I do eat and, even I know, I'm eating way too little. There are some days I don't feel like eating at all. However, I'm not feeling weak, light-headed, or hungry.

    Quite likely you’re low in sodium. This is the primary reason people say they feel weak on keto.

    Very interesting. Haven't thought of that. I did think that I need to get myself some electrolytes. Thanks so much for the info.
