Well I fight at 77kg and walk around at 80 anyways, what I did was cut something I have everyday from my diet, you lose a little bit of weight gradually and stay around the same weight roughly. Its not proven but thats what I do, I learnt that not having 10-15 biscuits a day dropped my weight around 3lbs in weight over 8 weeks... just something small but roughly the same. Everybodys set up different and this works for me, goodluck.
