I understand that this is a made up example only. It still makes me wonder every time I see it. The calorie deficit is huge for a 180 lbs person, isn´t it? - I could eat that little easily if I followed my hunger but I would starve right away. I need twice that fat for some 2000 kcal to begin with. 1400 can not feel good for long. How does it lose fat even?
I can not “listen” to my non-existing hunger, especially at induction. I always had to eat more than I “wanted” to get enough food. If I only “listen” , I will drop to 1400 kcal or even less -and stop losing weight and feel weak.
I may have done this all wrong since 2004 but everything always went great when I adjusted my fat intake the opposite way. I ate the most fat at induction, then lowered.
Of course this is only my past experience and now I´m probably different.
But it´s dinner time,I´m not hungry and I´ll go eat some delicious fatty stew to avoid undereating.
