Need to loose 5kg in 8 weeks

[wagon]

I need to get from 89kg to below 84kg in a little under 8 weeks. My diet is generally pretty good:

Porridge (7am)
Protein shake (10am)
Chicken or tuna salad (1pm)
Fruit or protein shake (3pm)
Wholemeal pasta tuna / chicken (6pm)
Protein shake (10pm before bed)

I also take:
Creatine ethyl ester (approx 3 grams a day)
Tribulus (2 - 3 caps / day)
L-Glutamine (2 - 3g / day)
Glucosamine (4000mg day "bad joints")

I have Thermobol but haven't started taking them as I had cramps before.

Any suggestions as I train pretty hard 5 days a week and don't tend to do heavy weights (more circuits).

Not enough carbs for training... You should probably add in something low gi and carby like 4 hours before you train.

My energy levels for training are not a problem. It's loosing the weight that I was asking about. The lunch time salad sometimes contains a small ammount of pasta (about a hand full) and that does me fine.

Too loose weight you need to train hard and do hard cardio, to do hard cardio you need enough fuel (carbs) to train... You didn't mention the pasta, but I would say make sure the fruit is a low GI carby fruit (at 3pm).

Run at least 5km within 20 minutes in the morning 5 days a week. Give your self 5 minutes and then do some HIIT, 30 seconds on at a VERY high pace, 30 seconds off, repeat for 2 (if really tired) up to 10 reps (quite energetic). That will melt around 500 calories off you... (It does me any way). Can be done on treadmill or street... I do it on the treadmill as it is easier to measure.

Diet is fine, just make sure you eat enough to train and are doing a shite load of cardio.

Thats verry debatable!

Our body dont just use carbs for energy, but protein and fats aswell! What i have found that works for me is i get beter energy sourse for training from protein and unsaturated fats like (nutts, seeds). Carbs are good but if u eating often enuff u dont really have to overload on carbs to train hard.

Another thing is drink shit load of water (5liters a day), it will spead up your metabolism. Other than that what you doing seems ok.
