Meet the protein requirements and you should not have hunger problems.

Why are you suggesting a 1100 cal diet for Doug. If Doug eats 1700 cal he's cut his cal down from what he's now eating by 800, and 1700 is do-able. 1100 is really really low, even for me; seems drastic for a guy.
Also, Doug, it sounds like you WANT a refeed 2 weeks... You keep bringing it up. Are you speaking from what you want or what you need? It doesn't matter. I would think it's okay to take a break from a "want." But it's more empowering if you know that you are taking a break because you want to and not because you need to.
