2) I'm wondering if the NROL4W workouts aren't counterproductive, to some extent. I'm toying with the idea of switching to the NROL Fat Loss stages instead.

I've had similar thoughts to #2 BUT am going to do the whole NROL4W program then move on to NROL workouts. I just want to
see what happens with the full program.
Regarding the fat loss... my boyfriend and I went on TNT about a month ago, hoping to drop a bunch of fat. We've had dismal success and started searching for answers last weekend. I think we've pretty much determined that we're just plain eating too many calories.
I do know that weight loss really IS a matter of calories in/out. Of course, where those calories come from can make a huge difference and it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job of that. I think managing your insulin response (like always eating protein whenever you eat a carbohydrate) is key, too.
I hate guessing though. I just want to KNOW what to do to get my body to work like a fine-tuned machine. I'm getting tired of testing.
