Bloody hell, congratulations
Without wanting to sound too negative, I'm not sure the process you have described to lose weight would count as easy for many. How much does the personal trainer and gym subs cost? How can eg. a parent to a young child, working full time, find the time for 5 gym sessions and 300km of cycling a week?
Not to mention that 1500 calories a day, especially with that amount of exercise, would leave most people feeling extremely hungry, all the time?
I would suggest a better description might be that losing weight is simple - your picture of a very strict diet and lots of exercise is after all not revolutionary - but still, very difficult

Nice work @cliveo - for part 2 do you plan to continue working with the PT? As you mention the keeping the weight off can often be the hardest part but hoping you are feeling better for all that work!

I started a weight loss programme in mid July.
I use a food diary - MyFitnessPal - and have a personal trainer. I am cycling around 2-300 Km a week and working out 4 or 5 times a week in the gym, two of them with the trainer. I only do weights and stretching in the gym. No cardio.
I am restricting my calories intake to around 1500 calories a day however many I burn. I have porridge with oat milk at breakfast but no other carbs. I eat chicken, eggs, halumi and non oily fish as protein as well as veg, salad and fruit.
I have lost 19kg so far with another 7kg to go.
Losing weight is easy. The difficulty is (1) starting the process and (2) keeping it off.
The second challenge will soon be facing me.
