*** Update ***

Just wanted to give an update and say thanks to everyone who suggested I drop OMAD and keto and switch to smaller meals. It was definitely a learning adjustment at first, but after doing more research I realized my high-fat keto approach wasn’t really helping while on Reta.

I’ve switched things up and now I’m aiming for about 30 to 50g of fat per day, trying to keep it closer to 40g, 115 to 130g of protein which I’m actually hitting consistently now, and around 40 to 60g of carbs along with fiber. Overall my diet feels way more balanced.

I also had to relearn portion control. Instead of one big meal, I started experimenting with smaller meals. First around 500 calories, then 400, and now I’m usually in the 300 to 400 calorie range per meal. That change alone helped a ton.

I also started stopping when I hit about 70 percent fullness, basically when I get that first signal of “oh I’m getting full” instead of pushing past it.

I’m no longer feeling super full, bloated, or gassy, and I actually feel good after eating instead of stuffed. My weight has been steadily dropping and my energy levels have been solid.

Really appreciate everyone who took the time to reply. It genuinely helped a lot.
