Apologies for the intimate camera staring.
Impressive. Well done on what’s been achieve and for what’s to come!I’ve only ever managed similar weight drops by maintaining a 1,000kcal deficit and it’s typically hard. Hungry all the time and cognitively draining, I don’t have the time to plan meals and count calories these days. I’ve been rehabbing a finger injury the last two months and been told to steer clear of climbing as much, so I’ve drifted towards weightlifting and subsequently gained a couple of kilos, in the next month or so I need to think about dropping some of the weight though, ready to climb again. Would you care to share what you typically eat in a day?
Impressive stuff but for short term loss would something like Clen not work? Seems to work for body builders stripping for comps....Same result.
Congratulations! As you probably know, the scientific literature on weight loss is grim reading. Long term loss of body mass or improvements in body composition are unlikely regardless of what type of diet used. To help keep the weight off, doing sports (at least 1h/day on average) and daily monitoring of weight is known to be the most helpful interventions.

Dave Macleod has written quite a bit about this, might be worth a read.
Have you gone low sugar or just low carb? Giving up sugar in my coffee and all other sweetened drinks between meals around 10 yrs ago made a huge difference (10kg lighter than back then) for me because I stopped feeling hungry between meals and lost my sweet tooth. occasionally my kids will offer me a sweet and I'll accept but find them disgusting.
