I think first getting in the "groove" of the ketosis first is important. Then count calories. I have a moderate deficiency for weight loss now and I'm never hungry at about 1300-1400 calories. I have a desk job and am fairly sedentary. I also know that women tend to take longer to see any results. I'm going on 3rd month now, not 100% adhering but lost about 7-8 pounds slowly. If I kicked it up a notch with some excersize, it would be quicker; however, then I would possibly need more calories. After the 3/4 month mark, I should start to see a more dramatic difference in my efforts. My goal weight is healthy 160 at 5'6. I am 180 now. I have a moderate build. Stubborn glucose. I am experiencing some slight stomach upset in the morning or keto flu these days which I am not sure why. My charts are showing enough fat and protein. Perhaps lack of water.
