#2It looks like no cardio to speak of in your routine. So many people kill themselves doing an hour a day of running or riding a stationary bike and then wonder why they don't get better results. It's really 80% or more about diet and lifting weights. The more muscle you have the more calories you will burn throughout the day. You just don't need that much cardio if you train intensely enough when lifting weights.
Nice work Ryan.

I didn't know that this was the case! Thank you for explaining it :)

Exactly. Very little cardio. My heart definitely gets a workout though. After doing weights properly, your heart really pounds.

#5Shame you didn't talk more about your diet in the regards that what you actually did was cut out all the carbohydrates! This to me would appear to be the #1 reason to your success, a low carb diet.

True, but it's the complete package that does it. Not just dropping carbs.

I imagine that running and riding (on a real bicycle) is more beneficial when you are overweight because there's more to carry around.

No, it's just dropping carbs. You're a sample size of 1.
All the people on loseit are a much bigger sample and low carbs works, just not quite as fast as the more extreme keto or paleo.
All the dairy you could have kept. I lost 25lbs while still drinking 7 cups of tea a day for example by moving to a very similar diet to yours. Cheese was one of my snacks in fact.
The problem is that for actually both dairy and nuts it's very easy to overeat them as they are calorie laden.

#9This is inspiring Ryan. I was specifically looking for examples of busy dads that have successfully launched their own business when I came across your post. Too bad you're in the UK, I'd love to take you out for a pint.

#10Congrats on the change! I'm on the middle of something similar myself. One question: you say your work out sessions were 60 minutes and for Tuesday you write "Tuesday - Shoulders: Military press, side-arm raises". You did only that for 60 minutes? How many series and reps?
