Down 70+lbs on keto

You don't wanna eat 1,000 cals under especially with a diet that would have you burn stored body fat even at your TDEE...You wanna spare muscle, don't you? I would say lose the weight a little slower and spare some bulk...Just my opinion

In all honesty, I've never had trouble putting on muscle or size. I've always had trouble keeping the fat off.

I've never tried dieting to the extreme level I'm doing right now. Even if I throw a few lbs of muscle down the tubes, I'm not too concerned. I might even fit into some XL shirts for work again if I could shrink my shoulders, back, and lats down a bit...heh

I am extremely sedentary and for the next few years I don't have much of an option to change this between my full time job(50-60hrs a week), school (PhD, every other hour), and new baby at home(wishing there were more hours). My only option is to control my weight loss through my diet or something else in my life needs to give.

The diet has been working exactly as I wanted up until the last 2 or 3 weeks. I'm not sure what has changed. I may try to bump my calories up for a couple weeks and see if anything changes. If not, then I'll drop back down.

The advice I've gotten so far is to increase calories. Anything else?
