I need to do some more research before I take this on. I want to lose 100-125lbs (for health and my upcoming wedding). I know a calorie restriction diet works. But from what i’ve been reading, if I limit my calories too much, my metabolic rate will also drop too much. Even if I stay at 1500 kcal/day my body will adjust to only needing 1500 kcal/day and it will not be enough to lose weight.
I naturally don’t eat a lot of carbs. No pasta. No real sweets. No sofa. No bread (unless I grab a wrap when on the road). I know I need to increase my calorie intake (I stay around 1500-1600) to keep my metabolic rate but I don’t know if I need to do it with a Keto Diet or if just naturally do a high fat/moderate protein/lower carb diet but still keep my calories restricted enough to lose weight.
