Nice sweep though Kai
Update:
With out sounding like a big girl, I have been having a real rough time of it. Dieting for this long has really, really taken it's toll on me both physically and mentally.
At the moment I am going to the gym because I feel like I have to as opposing to want to be there. When there I am merely going through the motions and not smashing every session - fact!
Last night, after another "teenage" tantrum and mood swing I had had enough I phoned my coach to say **** it I can't do this anymore. Not only is this affecting my life, its affecting others including the other half I have ZERO libido - diet has shot that to bit's.
Granted this is not the first time I have had to diet to this level but never ever for this long, its usually 6 - 10 weeks maximum. I have been dieting for 16 weeks now and still have another 18 days to the shoot and another month to bodypower.
Anyway after being told to man the **** up by my coach I have been given 2 high carb days with a 25% increase day 1 and a cheat meal day 2 (tomorrow) I am a little concerned about having the cheat meal this close to a big shoot, but I need to raise my serotonin levels, spike insulin and it MIGHT just actually benefit me.
Now the question is, what do I have for my cheat meal. I have been told I need to make sure I have something really sweet. I have been told a box of 12 Krispy Kreme is ideal for the desert element but what for the main!

Go nuts on the main, loads of sticky white rice, keep the meat lean but tasty and flavour the rice for added fun! Maybe something like a tasty sweet and sour chicken om nomnom 
Keep at it mate, 18 days sounds like an age, but after 16 weeks its nothing and it would be such a waste to throw it all away. The cheat meals now are still far enough away from the shoot to not have an adverse effect. Infact if they give you a bit more get up and go, and restore your resolve they will probably be more benefical then not having them!
Not long now.

This.
Keep at it, Kai - you've stuck at it so long and achieved what you have through hard work. Just like an elite athlete, this is where the **** has become real and is starting to bite. Want to be the best? This is how it works.
I can't relate to the same extent but 8 weeks on a keto diet coupled with HIIT wore me down too.
Stick at it though!
As for the cheatmeal I would get some sweet potatoes in there and something with icing & icecream for desert (read banana cake) and maybe even some custard to fill you up too.

The double dozen has been purchased. Twelve assorted and twelve glazed, I suspect a massive sugar rush when I combined the glazed with 3 tubs of Mcflurry.
I find it hard to believe this is going to actually make me leaner but, hey all in the aid of science.

Mystery of the ****ing universe 'cause I completely agree!!!!
