I've been further tuning my diet, keeping total calories down but increasing protein, keeping fat between 15-20%, and thinning out my carbs to very small portions over 4 times a day, sticking to brown rice etc.
You sound like me. This is part of the reason I've not even bothered ordering a cycle yet. It gives me that time to realize "man, I'm still doing very well without gear, so there's no sense in playing that trump card yet".

I'm a former fat guy as well (265 peak, 150 trough, 163 current), so the progression of shapeshifting alone has been astounding. However, at 32 I do realize that the time will be coming sooner than later.

Here's to riding what we've got until actually needing to reach back for a deeper gear.
