Bintang - I have had the same experience as you. As my weight loss continued my caloric intake went up. I started out somewhere around 1650 calories/day (this is an approximate since I don't keep the careful records that you keep) and I now eat around 1850 calories/day. Right now I seem to be maintaining but I have lost weight eating at this level. My caloric intake has gone up 12%. I have lost 47% of my starting weight (wow! never did that calculation before). I have tried using a few keto calculators and they all suggest I need to eat fewer calories just to maintain. I'm ignoring them since counting calories is not what it's about.
You look great!
Jean

Thanks Jo. Sometimes I think I feel younger too – maybe it’s not my imagination.

Jean, thanks for letting me know.
I have suspected that this must be normal and quite common and that the important thing is to feed the body preferentially with a higher fat intake (rather than protein and of course not carbs) as the caloric demand goes up. I also think it is something that novice low carbers need to be aware of early on. |

It makes sense. As we lose on a LCHF eating plan, the amount of body fat available as energy continues to drop, and it makes sense that our hunger will, at some point, rise.
Initially, we have all that extra fat to "spend", and once it's unlocked by lowering insulin levels, we don't need as much intake to feed the rest of the body. But when body fat drops, to maintain means to eat more.

Great stats !!! Real proof that LC works, and far easier than low fat. The stats though are truely amazing--you have put as much effort into those as your food choices.
GREAT JOB !

Thanks Jo.
When I posted that chart 2 years ago my weight was 151 lbs. It continued down to a low of 149 lbs but then drifted back up to 154 lbs. If that rate of increase continues I will gain back everything I lost in about another 25 years! Stay tuned  |
