    you don't need such a massive deficit, set it to lose 1lb per week, eat more food!

    If you aren't eating enough your body starts a starvation mode and holds on to the fat .Im a big lad and im surprised at the amount of calories I have to eat plus with training which adds more ..And I am knocking the weight off slowly but surely

    Ahh.. I may research it a bit more. I may have to reassess my diet plan.

    Thanks

    you don't need a 2lb deficit with only 2 stone to lose. think 'sustainable loss that retains muscle', not 'lose as fast as possible'.
