Hey everyone, I’ve been lurking on the thread for a while but finally decided on the 1st of March of this year to take my weight loss seriously after reading about everyone’s successes and journeys.
CONTEXT: I’m a 22 year old female, 5’6” and I weigh 92kg. I had a brief stint with keto last summer and whilst it was effective, I’ve realised it’s not something that I can maintain for the long-term. Would much rather make changes I can stick to. So I’ve decided to try CICO. Also - I strength train in the gym for an hour, once a week. This is currently my only form of exercise.
CICO: After tracking my regular eating habits on MFP for about a week or so, I realised that I eat around 2050 calories per day. I’ve decided to cut down by 500 calories per day, as it seemed most sustainable. I’ve been at this for a few days and I can’t help but notice how hungry I get. Like, an hour or two after dinner I’m so hungry, sometimes to the point where I get a headache. I’ve been trying to stay hydrated, so I know that it’s not simply just dehydration.
Maybe because I’m new to this etc, but I’m also finding it a bit hard? I suppose that comes with anything new, but I’m finding it a bit restricting and challenging having to constantly think about the next meal and whether or not it’ll fit into my calorie allowance.
I’ve always thought that 1500 calories was enough, but I just feel really hungry. I’m not eating smaller quantities of calorie dense food, but I’ve (maybe too quickly) changed my diet over to dishes like stirfry or naked burrito bowls (no rice). I don’t know what to do and the feeling of hunger and headaches that I’m experiencing is worrying me a little. I don’t want to crash.
If anybody could give me any advice on this or point out where I’m going wrong, I would be eternally grateful.
