I’ve been doing whole foods for roughly 4-5 months for health and weight loss. Hasn’t been perfect I’ve indulged here and there (always maintain calorie deficit except twice) and I recently swapped over to the carnivore diet.

Now I’m a 5’10 male that’s been heavy my whole life. I started whole foods and calorie deficit at just under 450 pounds.

I switched to roughly 10 days ago at 384 pounds.

Currently 374, I’m overall happy with the diet and the weight loss is steady and easy.

My concern here is this:

On whole foods I was eating between 1600-2200 calories depending on workout days etc. I was healthy and felt great, other than some stomach pains (turned out to be fatty liver) and brain fog

I switched over to see if this would help and I feel fantastic. I don’t really have any issues in terms of how I feel, however my issue is I am eating much less overall.

I only eat when I’m hungry and cut off food after 8pm. I typically eat once a day and I’m averaging about 1000 calories since starting this diet. All of which is eggs,butter and red meat.

I stay very hydrated and included a lot of quality sea salts.i am concerned I’m eating way too much little. I do snack on meat sticks in the day some days and have made additional meals once or twice. Just concerned with how little I feel hungers

Should I be making myself eat more?

Any big guys experience this?

Also fyi - I’m a Canadian guy who recently (last month) moved to west Texas and it is ungodly amounts of hot here which I know can make people eat less
