I am sedentary. Incorporating exercise into my life is important. I need to try harder.

Would you be okay with fixing your blood test results, if it meant down-regulating and slowing your metabolism? That's what can happen with longish-term and such a large calorie deficit unfortunately.
If you went for a more fat and protein grams you might get the best of all worlds. The right carbs for easy fat burning, enough fat for healthy metabolism, and enough protein for healthy lean mass.
I wrecked my metabolism with undereating and it took a loooooong time to fix. Months. i would never do that again. To the point of sticking with a small calorie deficit even though it slows down fat loss. |
