I'm carrying an extra 30 lbs in fat I'm sure. But honestly, I'm so busy in my day-to-day life that I have to find something that works for me. I can't go home and do a workout I hate and be motivated to continue with it.
So for now, I'm not worried about the fat. I'm going to lift my way through NROL4W, and instead of a week long rest between stages, I'm going to take two weeks and do a cleanse diet (a la' wild rose) and consider a high-protein, ketosis-inducing diet between stages as well. This way I plan to lose a bit of weight between each stage, and the goal through the stage will be to not gain.
I honestly don't know how well that's going to work; whatever weight is left to lose after stage 7, then I'm going to do NROL for fat loss to carve off the rest then.
That way the fat loss will be more like the "big reveal" and I'll be motivated to stick with the diet because I've worked so hard to build the muscle hiding under the fat and I'll want to show it off.
I think you should do what you enjoy doing - we spent too much time working at this to be annoyed with it every step of the way.
