ok, i am going to continue to follow my low slin diet for 1-3 weeks and see how the progress goes. what i have done now is i am doing cardio in the AM on empty stomach for 45min to see how that works!
what i have done is recreated a diet which i will implement if my low slin diet isnt working.

ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
2000mg vitamin C a day
2 cal/mag tablets a day
400 I.U. vitamin E after a workout
1 multi vitamin
OFF days (monday/tuesday).. i will reduce my caloric intake by 100-200
QUESTIONS:
1. how much water should i add to my protein/flax drinks?
2. on weekends i cant do cardio in the am. should i lower my food intake or keep it the same?
i think i might have a full grape fruit on actual cardio and training days. currently i consume 1990 cals on my current diet and i am slowly losing fat BUT perserving and building my muscle.
