Update! Obesity doctor appointment today (plus nutritionist): weigh-in 126.35kg / 278.55 lbs which is about a kilo less than last appointment. Have been in 274-278 range since then. Discussed lower caloric plan since I want to get back into actual weight loss asap. New plan: 1500+** calories with the macros fat 30%, protein 30% & carbs 40%. Emphasis on carbs from fruit & veg; less grains. Lower sodium (under 1500mg) . Very doable! My new macro goals are: 125g protein, 150g carbs (including 30g from fibre), 50g fat. Transition time!
** My BMR is 1900 calories. They prefer not to go too low under this as it starts to mess with metabolism. I was instructed not to go lower than 1500-1600.

This is sound advice. Most people when they try to lose weight restrict themselves too low in calories then your metabolism slows down and you start to lose muscle. Losing muscle as you age is not a good thing. Muscle increases your metabolism and burns more calories than fat burns. Are you doing any body weight exercises or weight training Liv Life?

Thanx for your comment! I have been sporadic with doing weight/strength training. I will be working on consistent routines, both cardio & strength (I have dumb bells, weight bar & resistance bands) this winter to build up to heavier weights at gym by spring.

Thank you @Bropa! I was never really super low carb, but this is definitely a shift for me. Bit scary thinking I am "allowed" like 4 fruits a day! Potatoes! LOL Whole real foods always makes health sense :)

To get used to a lower carb, I found it helpful to throw the carbs on top of my veggies, like a 1/2 cup topping. On hungry days I'll add 2 servings over my meal (1 cup). It really helps, and I don't feel hungry. I eat good carbs, wholegrain, steel cut oats, and add quinoa to my diet. I also eat a lot of veggies to fill out my dinner. Good for you! You're doing it!
