Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. I am in my early 50’s and have a lot of fat to lose (almost 90 pounds). Last July I had a rare cancer removed from my eyelid, and with the stress, etc I gained weight on top of my already overweight body. I have had 8 surgeries on my eye since then and have finally been giving the all clear and told I don’t need to go back to the doctor for 6 months 🙂 However, I just found out I am now pre-diabetic and I am starting to have blood pressure issues which I never had before. I found ADF through my sister who is doing IF (20/4) and having great results with it. For several months I have tried a Keto diet and did well at first but started having problems with it due to some intestinal issues I have. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to do it long term. I am hoping fasting works for me as I feel it is something I could do the rest of my life (I have fasted in the past for religious reasons and did well with it.) After reading through some of the info & posts here I do have a question. According to the calculator my TDEE is 2027. That seems like a lot for someone my age who is only 5″2 and almost 250 pounds! Should I really be eating that much or can I eat closer to 1700 range? Sorry for the long intro. Hope to get to know all of you better and good luck to all of you on your journey.
