Yeah I'm agreeing with those below me, carb work alone will easily achieve your fat loss, get your protein up and lift hard and a little heavier to work your strength. End of the day brother, the cycle will be gone before long if you run it, if the cycle was the cause for your goals and the effect is achieved what will you do when the cause is gone? The effect goes with it unless the diet controlled the goal. Control the goal now with diet and training and continue that and we have nothing to talk about in compounds right? "Mainly in it to aid in fat loss".....point is this is not a diet but I will say, myself or many others here could put you on a diet to shred the shit out of you. Even there, you keep up the cause or the effect goes away. Lifestyle in food is the way to fix you in your goals here. Lastly...."diet is in tact". What does that even mean? Its in tact for what you are, not for what you want. Happy to help with that.
