I've tried eating less for weight loss, but when I do I sometimes (multiple times a week) feel really low on blood sugar (break out in a huge sweat and feeling the shakes) and the only thing that helps is eating.
(I've tested for diabetes and it's not that...)
So on these threads that say "just eat less", is there a way of eating less while preventing that crappy, hypoglycemic feeling?
(I exercise a lot, so I've got that covered... I just have a constant need to eat, although I eat healthy these days and have mostly stopped snacking).
The reason I suggest keto is due to the energy being less spiky and available over longer periods of time. I eat twice per day, a bowl of skyr (a cheese, yogurt consistency) with pecans, walnuts and a little vanilla along with a healthy helping of lactose-free heavy cream for lunch and feel absolutely full till dinner. For dinner I eat a meal where I cook from raw ingredients using lots of cream, butter, fat meats or fish. I don't especially measure the evening meal but I try to keep myself under 2500 kcal total for the day. I'm only hungry a little bit in the morning. I tackle that with drinking lots of water as soon as I'm at the office.
Not saying that's going to work for everyone. Works for me.
