The trouble is I find I begin dropping weight dramatically as soon as I drop the calories even to maintenance level. I wondered if any former skinny guys had the same issue and could suggest some pointers for successful cutting.

    Thanks.

    What is your current diet and training routine? Is it possible that all you may need to do is clean up your diet and implement a bit of cardio? Some changes do not need to be drastic.

    To be honest, my training and diet has slipped some what since I finished my first cycle. I'm normally pretty militant when it comes to training and diet, but after finishing PCT, my mojo just seemed to vanish and it's probably taken up to this point to regain that passion for lifting again; it's bizarre.

    At the moment my diet is:

    2,700-2,900 Kcal ED
    40/30/20 - Carbs/Protein/Fats

    Training consists of compound and isolation moves, with moderate weights and high and low reps.

    Have you had bloodwork completed? It's sounds like it may be a good idea.

    I'm waiting until next month to do bloods.
