I would be interested in seeing how you did for a couple of weeks at ~1600 /day. I think the up-regulation might be beneficial to you. You already know that the philosophy of eating such low calories produced diminished results. We don't lose weight in linear fashion along 500 calories deficits. For one, we do a lot of estimating. The true science of the matter is trial and error. If you are looking at say a two week period, what is the worst that can happen? Adjust things based on the results you get in that time frame, either exercise or eating and evaluate your results. By eating at such a caloric deficit for such a long period of time, your body most likely adapted by reducing metabolism.

Just my .02.
