Greetings everyone,
I am new to this forum. I'm Asian and live in Japan. English is not my first language, so please bear with me if my grammar is not perfect.

This is my second attempt with Atkins after 4 & half years. I’ve lost about 60lb the first time but I gained it all back and than some. I’m sure my story is not new. Anyway, I’ve been doing induction for a month now (32days) , and manage to lose 22lb. My dilemma is (I never thought I’d say this) I may not be eating enough. According to Fitday calculation, I’m eating 900 – 1200 cal a day (250cal from olive oil and butter). After initial week, I tend to get full easily (I’m guessing my stomach is getting smaller). Since I’m not hungry, I don’t have the urge to snack. I feel as though my body seems to know when I’m hungry and I have settled in comfortable routine. Breakfast is around 6:30 – 7:00, lunch 11:45 – 12:00, and dinner 6:00 – 7:00. I do not eat after dinner and I go to bed around 11:00. My question is, should I force myself to eat even if I’m not hungry? I fell very satisfied after each meal, I don’t feel deprived. But I’m afraid I may be forcing my body to starvation mode unintentionally. Any suggestion/advice is very welcome.

Here are my stats; I’m 5’1, 249lb, zero exercise. Scale shows slow movement but not stalling. I drink 2-3 liter of water every day, intake daily dose of vegetables and in ketosis. I also feel great 95% of time.

Now, if only Poop Fairy comes visit me more often, I be all set…
