How strict are you with carbs? Are you able to sustain all that activity on a truly low carb regimen?
Personally, the only way I have been able to lose bodyfat is with going as low carb as possible while tolerating a loss of energy that limits me to just walking and stretching.
I basically restrict my diet to a rotation of : eggs, beef patties, mushroooms, spinach, cheese. This makes me lethargic but does have the effect of slowly but steadily shedding body fat. It's my second go around with atkins, and it seems that result come harder then the first time.
On occasions I go mountain biking, I drink a mix of plain protein whey and maltodextrin, and try to avoid loading up on carbs afterwards. I try to eat only as much carbs as I'm actively burning and accept a lower level of performance than usual.
I have about ten pounds of bodyfat to reach my goal (190 to 180) and once I get there, I 'll rethink my strategy. But in meantime, losing the fat is my only goal.
