I dont mind at all Brew, here are my thoughts thus far ...

Since your primary goal (as I've read it) is fat loss right now, you seem to be on the right path. Your overall calorie count is a bit on the low side, i would say you should bring your protien up to atleast 220g, and get your fats up higher also, I'd say between 50 and 80g. keep your carbs at 100g or lower per day, and you will be good for now. At those numbers you will be right around 2000 cals a day, and in border line ketosis. The natural tendancy is to go low with your cals right off the bat, but understand that doing so leaves you no where to go after you fat loss stalls. And it will stall out eventually. so stay around those numbers untill you stall, then drop them gradually. Also, work in a carb up day once a week or so, plan it out as your "cheat" day, and get in 300 to 400 grams of carbs on that day. it will restore your muscle glycogen, and since its planned you will have something to look forward to at the end of a long week of dieting, and it will keep you from cheating durring the week.

As far as the workouts go, I'll be honest I dont see a whole lot of point to doing 40 rep sets, but your on the right track with keeping your rest periods short, and keeping your heart rate up. I would push the lbs up on the bar, and go between 12 and 15 reps per set, thats enough to depleat glycogen levels in the muscle, if thats what your shooting for.

with the Pure Virtago, add a lot more water, it does get thick when you mix it without enough water, and do as eric said and drop the dosage down to about half the dose, it will keep you from bloating, and also save you some cash. In the future you can pick up bulk waxy maize starch from nutraplanet fairly cheap.
