Very impressive month! Howās your energy intraday? Have you hit any stalls yet? Cheated on diet?
Thanks mate.
Energy intraday does change. On non-training, low carb days I can be quite low energy and irritable. Nothing too drastic, but do feel a change. Definitely more tired at night though and falling asleep a lot earlier.
Not stalls as of yet, current weight loss each week has been;
Week 1 - 0.95kg
Week 2 - 0.95kg
Week 3 - 1.60kg
Week 4 - 0.95kg
Week 5 - 0.50kg
Wouldnāt be surprised if I stalled this week but still havenāt done any cardio - apart from walking to work and at the weekend.
Only rogue meals I have had is a couple of Tonkotsu ramen, with katsu chicken. Still believe I was at a calorie deficit for each of those days. Also having a couple of GYG burrito bowls (which I would guess is the equivalent of Chipotle), but having no cheese or corn chips and adding brown rice and guac. The macro profile isnāt too bad (if you donāt count sodium as a thing). No chocolate, chips, pizza, fast food (other than GYG) and to be honest, only had the odd craving now and again.
Sounds like youāre on point. Nothing too egregious, but not overly strict and driving yourself mad. Keep it up!

Walk - 3.7km
Been watching a few Greg Douchetteās video and apart from the annoying voice, he has some interesting and useful information. One thing that stood out was his āanabolicā french toast as I always thought white bread was awful for you and as such, I havenāt eaten it in years. Given this, I gave it a go. The white bread I got didnāt have a bad macro profile either - 2 Slices;
186 calories
6.2g protein
2.2g fat
31.7g carbs
2g sugar
Cover a slice of bread in a mixture of egg whites, cinnamon, sugar substitute, vanilla extract and then fry it. Topped with yoghurt and strawberries.
It was great and very filling
Breakfast (10:30am) - Coffee, one slice of āanabolicā french toast with yoghurt and strawberries
Lunch (1:00pm) - one slice of āanabolicā french toast with yoghurt and strawberries
Snack (3:30pm) - Protein bar

Exactly right.
Took on board your point about having some stuff in my locker when I start to stall. So after a couple of months, once I have incorporated cardio and I start to stall again, I have some other levers to pull if I want to continue to lose fat.
Also, I wanted to make the diet so I didnāt cheat and it was sustainable. As you say, I am in that sweet spot where its not too bad, but not too strict either and in reality, its been fairly easy to follow.
Also how is your stye! Keen to see you get some matches 
Awesome work so far mate. Keep it up! Dunno how I missed this log but youāre well on your way to your goals

Yeah @2sides_whufc if you can past Gregās castrated voice then he has some golden nuggets to share. I based a lot of my cut around his advice.
Good efforts as well my man. Keep chipping away

Cheers mate! This log has certainly helped, along with the knowledge and support from the people on here.
Yeh I am not sure why he does it. I have seen other older videos where he just talks normally. Canāt knock him though, his channel seems to be growing ridiculously quick. Completely agree with his thoughts on diet, I have done keto in the past and the fat did melt off, but there was no way I was going to eat like that for the rest of my life so I just gave up and fell back into bad habits.
Also thanks mate! Long road but I am prepared for it.

His older videos are excellent content. Personally I just quite dislike his over the top on-screen persona - but as you point out itās what the viewers want. He is still very intelligent and knowledgeable as evidenced by his older work.

Agreed @tinkertailortanker mate
His older videos are superior. This drama approach that forms the bulk of his current content is embarrassing

Yup, agreed. Somehow got on a video where he was responding to another Youtube dietician. Was bizarre.
You guys got any other recommendations on YT for good info?

Sedentary weekend and V day. Went for a picnic which explains the lunch and ordered an Indian for dinner. Most definitely at a surplus this day but have to make allowances on some occasions. Interested to see the scales this week.

Honestly these days I donāt watch much YT fitness stuff, except for entertainment. That being said, I like Coach Thibās videos - theyāre excellent - and John Meadows is great too.
