explain how i keep losing weight then ?
even with the extra weight over xmas anyone can see the vast improvements i have made over the past 5 months.
my daily diet normally include curries, chocolate, icecream, pizza, pasta, fries, candy. i lost 39lbs up till xmas ( all documented here) - took a month off, put some back on.
and now i will stay on till i reach 175. if i don't i'll never post here again.
my strength hasn't went down much either. 
for a bullshit diet its doing wonders.
And again, for the 1000th time:
You lose weight because you lose MUSCLE and water. Your diet forces the body to pile on more fat once your metabolism has adopted to the lower calorie intake. There are no "vast improvements", you are still a fat slob and look like shit.
What basically happens in your diet is what all fat women have done 10000 times in their lives:
First phase: you lose weight, in you case muscle due to the poor quality of food because of lower calories.
Second phase: body has adapted to lower calories and stops losing weight, instead start to STORE fat because he fears lower calories coming up again. It's called "yo-yo" effect, read it up.
Then you lower calories again and it starts all over again. With your diet, you will not lose weight, you will get fatter and fatter and fatter.
Now with that other idiot, dj181, what happens is safe and EVERY ONE that has been on low BF and started to bulk has experienced this:
In the first few weeks, how long it lasts depends on the person, you start building up muscle, if you protein intake is high, caloric intake is high and training frequence is high. You look as if you lose fat and build muscle at the same time, and exactly that is also happening. It's called REBOUND.
But this will not last long, you will start getting fat when your diet sucks. You will even start getting fat with a clean bulking diet when you have a caloric excess, but the results will be much better on a clean diet.
I have said this a few times here before: When you want to start a diet, UP you calories by 1000 AND at the same time also BURN 1500 calories more ed, and you results will be much better. You will have a much higher metabolism, and much higher level of physical activity, combining both will result in much better results than doing just one, but it is also much harder.
From this starting point, you can start reducing calories and activity level and diet on from a much better starting point, which means you will have higher calories over the whole diet.
