So yesterday was my first day with the 1200 cal CICO method. I really enjoyed my food yesterday. Having toast with my eggs was AMAZING. Being low carb for so long you can almost pretend that you don't miss bread, but one bite into it and I was like "OMG! Where have you been all my life?" It really was that good.
I did notice more hunger pangs than with keto (a lot of keto days were less than 1200 cal just from lack of hunger). I used to not get hungry until lunch time, so 16:8 IF was easy. This morning I had my breakfast at 8am because I was hungry as soon as I got up. I am going to try for a larger percentage of calories from protein today to try and help with the hunger, along with increasing my water intake. I'll give it a few days and see how I feel. If I'm still feeling so hungry all day, I might raise my calories. My BMR is 1941 with no activity, so according to CICO, I should be able to eat up to 1500 calories and still lose about 1 lb a week. Overall, I feel good about changing my WOE and look forward to seeing the outcome.
Blessed day FSF!
Update: I just realized that I did not update my RDI to the 1200. I still had it set to 1400. So yesterday's hunger was on 1333 calories. Not sure how I missed that, but oh well.
