Weight / Fat loss

Thanks fella! Phasing back onto more 'normal' food over the next 2 months until I hit target. Then get metabolic rate measured at new weight (I was burning 2990 calories / day at old weight) and make sure I don't stray over that per day unless I'm burning more through exercise (for example).

I've researched it and it does seem sustainable.

How do you measure metabolic rate? I know there's places on the web but not sure how accurate they actually are.

I figure if you can comfortably keep under your rate you'll loose weight and be more happy about it as it won't be a crash diet (limit your losses of muscle mass)

I'm also off the sugar now (bar natural sugar, fruit) because when I've eaten sugary things I'm getting a really bad stomach so this may be a long term choice rather than short term.
