Hi there,
I had some success on DSK early in the year and have become complacent (whilst still keto) and put back on some of the weight. I have used the onboarding tool to up my calories to about 1850 (female, 42 years old, 177lbs, 5ft9in). I felt happy with an 80% fat ratio last time, is it still necessary to do phase 1 or should I skip to tapering in Phase 2?
Thanks in advance for your help and support.

You may have changed your protein threshold and you may not have.
Have you built any muscle since then? This could have a factor.
Also, with your calories at 1850, has your weight stayed the same?

Hi Abby
thanks for your reply. I have decided to do another week of on boarding so will get calories up around 2000.
my weight is about the same as when I started last time with no increase in muscle. I have been losing about 1-2 pounds per week during on boarding.
thanks again

I like your thinking for doing another week since you are still losing while increasing calories.
I would keep increasing calories until you notice a stall. 🙂
Also in my opinion, you can skip phase 1 if you want to as you have not gained much muscle. However, feel free to do phase 1 if you wish also. 🙂 Other things may have changed, so you never know.
