You've mainly lost water. It will come back.

The body fat stayed off, i'm now doing it again for the next 2 weeks to try to remove the last annoying bit around my stomach.

I was like that originally, I was worried I was going to lose too much muscle but infact the fat loss has given me more definition

8 lbs in 2 weeks is extreme. What's the rush? Slow it down and stick to a good weights routine. I highly doubt you haven't lost muscle mass to be honest.

I'm not just posting this to be a ****, but I just think your going about this the wrong way.

I don't doubt that some of the weight loss is down to water and muscle loss or that it's even healthy but for me it works. For the first week back in the gym I do suffer from muscle fatigue but after that I regain my strength very quickly.

I'm more than happy with the results.

In my experience (and I'm actually losing fat for the first time ever) is, be in a calorie deficit of about 300-500 calories, do your cardio to the point that it's hard work and you get an all body sweat on (3-4 times a week) and lift weights.

I also minimise my carbs at the moment. I keep it to breakfast and lunch and the rest is salads/veg and proteins...

Also if you know you are currently eating 2500 calories, then start by knocking off say 300 calories and monitor your weight. If it is not going down, drop more calories, untill you start seeing weight reduction on the scales.

As long as you keep your protein high and keep up with the weights, then most of what you lose will come from fat.

Oh I don't care about definition; I want to lose some weight for long distance running. I just like food too much.

Well, some of that was right.

Which is going to be the least painful, the diet or the running with the extra weight ?
