I sort of just realized that calories in calories out is a hot button issue in the keto community and in particular on these forms. I am mainly nursing caloric deficit because I have the energy budget, or discipline budget to do so and it is a new stimulus that I don’t usually empart to my body.
I am also looking to lose “those last 10 pounds” and I have heard from multiple sources that specific strategies might need to be implemented in order to do so. But what I am seeing so far, is that, with burn rate of 5000 calories a day, the natural landing place for my digestion so to optimize my fun times and performance in my morning runs, hard workouts and lastly at my work as a food Courier, Is to be in a caloric deficit.
This is why one hypothesis I have is: my body would preferred to be at a lighter weight because I could sustain the same lifestyle with less caloric burn, and with less caloric burn I wouldn’t need to digest as much food in order to maintain a particular body composition. Whereas before, in a normal day of mine I would burn 5000 cal, if I dropped to 150 pounds, I might burn as little as 4000 cal in that same day. So I would reach a place where I would not experience indigestion in an effort to keep up with my caloric Burn. This is all anecdotal of course…
