I'm not seeing much fat in your diet, Martin. If you're exercising and not taking in enough calories - you're going to be tired.

You can keep pushing yourself into the ground if you want, but you'll end up giving up because you quite simply can't keep expecting your body to do what it can't do.

You're up against it from the start by being vegetarian. Okay - that's your right to choose. But you need to be kinder to yourself if you're going to make a success of this.

Start by looking at your calorie intake. It's a tired expression, but if you're working out like a lumberjack, then you need to eat like a lumberjack. If not, you'll become lethargic, you'll become unhealthy and you'll fall off your diet. You can only starve yourself for so long if you're upping the effort level.

Chances are, if you don't have enough ready fats available, your body hasn't got used to the idea of using your fat like a wallet rather than a long term savings account. Fat in - fat out is a system that's based on fluid fat that moves around the body and fuels it. At the moment I'd bet a veg-burger that your body is shedding muscle to keep hold of its fat reserves.

Consider reading "why we get fat" by Gary Taubes. (Sorry guys. This is plug number 4 for this book) Education is the key to success.

Be patient. If you've ditched carbs you WILL become slim, over time.
