| That cycle looks ok to me but I would add some fish oils. This will give you the biggest bang for your buck in EFA's.
With a good diet you can cut up nicely without too much catabolism. If you only reduce your total calories by about 500 a day you can lose about 1 lb a week. If you restrict your calories too much you will go catabolic and your metabolism will slow down. this is not what you are looking for.
Your snack of oatcakes is very high in the Glycemic Index and I would switch to either something slow like peanuts or you will have to add something like peanut butter to that oatcakes, to slow down the spiking of blood sugars.
Also if you keep the fiber high in the diet you will notice the blood sugars will not spike as bad either.
I always gain weight on gear. So if you keep the gear low enough to stay out of catabolism then you will be better too.
Other supps for catabolism that will help out here are things like:
Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG)
L-glutamine
Protein (150 grams, or more a day)
L-Carnitine---- L Carnitine makes fats available for energy
Chromium-----helps maintain blood sugar levels from spiking too.
Also, you can get away with a low dose of T3 to like 12.5mcg and this will actually aid in carbohydrate assimilation without you going catabolic.
Or you can try a keto type diet. They work very well for some.
