Hi! Thanks for the message. I thought I should pass along some luck in the past couple weeks; maybe it'll help you too. I basically kept my carb cycling the same (I do 150g on lifting days, 50g on off days), but I increased my protein by 50g/day and decreased my fats by 50g/day. I also started doing a 1600/1100 calorie splits on workout/off days. All this, plus being obsessive about fish oil, iodine, and plenty of water with apple cider vinegar, has finally caused the scale to move. I've dropped 6 pounds and 2% BF in the past two weeks. This is after years of the exact same weight and BF, regardless of time of the month or bloating or whatever.

So, just thought I'd share. I feel like i may have hit upon the secret equation for me: LOTS of protein and less fat.
