I'm currently on this journey as well, I seem to have lost about 6-8lb in the 5 weeks I've been tracking. I think my food intake is good, I'm not feeling weak but have been progressively losing weight each week. I'll definitely keep an eye on it, as I'm currently working in the 24k from 20k, so I'll keep in mind the need for more calories if I start to notice recovery stall.
5 weeks ago I was 167lb, and this tuesday(weigh day) I was about 161lb, but I also weighed this weekend and showed to be 159. I expect come Tuesday I'll be showing 160lb. Right now, "weight loss" is about the only marker I can use, but I'm fine with my weight staying the same if I can lose some fat around my midsection.
Seconding what @Chrisdavisjr said about Huel, I usually do 1 Huel(2 scoops) with 1 scoop of Protein powder for 500kcal and 50g protein around the afternoon, and then a meal for dinner, and maybe something small a little later depending on how hungry I feel. It keeps me full, and is incredibly convenient. Depending on the day, I will sometimes skip that and have my first meal around 4:30. I'm always really serious about sleep, so my sleep seems mostly on point. So far I'm consistently close to 1lb a week, so that's pretty nice. I expect to go 10 more weeks doing what I've been doing(and this seems to be the timeline for fully integrating the 24k), but I'm tracking food intake to see if I stall or go the other direction. Time will tell.
