Edited- just saw that your basal rate is aimed at 1300.
I still would suggest that you raise that to 1500 or 1800, and accept that you'd only lose 1lb a week or there abouts, but still that's 5kg in 10 weeks.
Update from me:
I'm trying a sensible diet. 1800 cals a day minimum, 2000 max.
Gym and a run every morning (except 1 day a week).
And soon some exercise in the afternoons I think.
A sample day's menu:
Porridge with an apple and cinnamon for breakfast.
Lunch is Pasta/ Rice with a high protein meat (chicken/ turkey)
Snack at about 4 is yoghurt (lo fat) and a banana and some muesli (though this is also sometimes a pudding after dinner)
Dinner is salad/ soup with any meat.
No carbs after 7. Very little bread, no chocolate, no crisps, no alcohol.
(except vodka- when I have a night out).
I haven't felt better for a while, no caffeine and tonnes of energy. I'm supplementing with a vitamin and a fish oil.
Also, an offline training log, which contains a food diary, an exercise log, a strength log, and a work log.
