Yup, I'm eating about four bits of fruit through the day, a chicken salad or prawn cocktail for lunch and a protein milkshake thingy later on, with some nuts or yogurt with strawberries or blackberries as a snack later.

The lack of carbs may be tipping your body in to survival mode. I'd consider adding a little more carbs. Try adding some HIIT to your routine and see if it helps. It's always a case of trial and error as everyone responds differently. Sometimes it's not about training harder but training smarter.

I think it only shows respect to the difficult of the subject rather than an acknowledgement of my stupidity to say this is far more complex than anyone still yet understands.
This is only highlighted by personal anecdotes. For now, I'm lucky in the sense that I don't seem to be receiving the punishment for my bad deeds in that I am basically eating how I like and not really watching the carbs at all, but have stabilised 12kg lower than where I started. I think my eating habits have changed and am now treating carb or sugar rich food as a treat, but I appear to be below a critical level of carbs and sugars that my body can handle without turning me back into a fat *******.

It is far better to adjust your diet slowly and keep yourself fuelled for intense exercise. Let the body get used to the change and furthermore allow yourself to mentally get in to gear.

I do it in 29 in the sea Mind you, no turning around in the ocean.
Maz - you'd have to cut carbs completely.
I've stayed slim through eating vaguely sensibly but no real restrictions or supplements. I don't think it's hard.
I reckon a bit of lighter weights, more ab work and maybe some bodyweight stuff to up the fat burn.
That last bit of gut often seems very stubborn.

Someone that used to post on here who is a year older than me lost a similar amount but took him four times as long, he does more exercise and was aiming for ketosis 5 days a week. I think the difference in these cases is genetic. My idea of low GI still included four slices of bread a day, but seedy stuff that is nice but half the carbs of the supposedly healthy stuff I had before.
Also difficult when comparing to know what people really do as many go and have blowouts on beer and don't remotely stick to what they claim.

I've tweaked my shoulder so thought weights would be a bad idea.

When I've lost a weight in the past I do something like 1500 kcal a day for a month and might lose 2-3 kilos. That's normally enough to get a 6 pack back for me.
It makes you bloody hungry that is for sure!

Shock loading the body one way or another generally causes the body to react adversely. Easing in to things is the best approach.
This fellow attained the conditioning he has by controlling carbs not eliminating them.
I've got work to do

I don't cut anything out, I like carbs, I like sugar, if I completely denied myself I would be likely to end up binging on it, so I eat more of less what I want but I just make sure it's around 1000cals for the day, and then do 20mins cardio, resistance machines and weights 3-4times a week.
Down 19lbs since last week of October, so it's working for me, however, I wouldn't suggest it for any length of time because it's likely to be deficient in vitamins and minerals with being so restrictive, but for me this is probably the healthiest way I've ever done it.
