What’s happening to you is that you’re experiencing a more normal leptin response. That’s why you feel sated. Fat adaptation is a misnomer, it’s really a matter of adapting out of a lipogenic hormonal secretion pattern by reducing insulin and leptin resistance. This usually takes several months, if not longer.
One way to tell is to eat a meal of carbs, and see what your response is. You should no longer have a massive insulin response that makes you sleepy.
If you really want to lose fat, don’t eat until you’re actually hungry.
