That sounds brutal. You must have dropped a shitload of fat though? Were you extremely overweight?
Lost about 35 pound then leveled off, but I never restricted my calroies. Got very lean and felt great. I also found it was easy, to put on muscle too. Ate mostly turkey burger, eggs cheese and red meat. I supplemented with vitamins as I always do. I would recommend eating plenty of veggies though which was something that I did not do then.
