I do HIIT 3-4 times a week on an eliptical trainer. Bad feet, so running/sprints not really an option. Not sure if it's the fish oil, PB, vitamin D or what, but I feel great. I really even notice a lot of mental fog has disappeared (didn't even know it was there until it was gone), but the fat loss just doesn't seem to be happening. Could I actually need to bump UP calories? I've even been doing a fast once a week, thinking of going to two. The first few weren't fun, but after a few under my belt, it's not so bad.

And further, is it possible too have too few calories? I've been doing PB for a while, segued into it from more general low-carb. I turn those ketostix a lovely shade of purple, but just don't seem to be losing any weight. I'm working out (turbulence training), and I track everything I put in my mouth. Keep calories to about 1800 or so a day. Help! So, not sure if this discussion is still active, but I’m curious: do I count calories overall or not?
