If it's unbearable then you'll have up the cals a bit I suppose.... You could try shifting some cals from carbs to fats (with the same overall cals). The fats tend to take longer to break down and won't give you the highs and lows that the carbs do.

It's been a few weeks since we've been talking about this ... how is your weight doing? Heading in the right direction?

~noo its not been that long tbh i started when i said i did in the post on the 9th but i weighed my self and i had lost 2lb, i weighed my self on an empty stumache im gunna stick it out for a week longer because i understand my body cannot adapt to the diet that quickly, how ever uno the actual workout A and B i complete them easy as and want to do more but i have finished the workout. since they are targeting my core muscles could i or should i doo some abb exercises to complement my deadlift (coz i can feel bottem of my back and my abbs burning like crazy) , and the lat pulldown to complment my dumbell rows, iv been adding 5lb to each workout but its easy atm cz i started realy low weight

It should be easy right now but trust me when I say 5lb per workout will start adding up quickly. Right now while it's easy you need to focus on keeping very strict form. This will burn the proper way to do these movements into your mind and hopefully as it gets heavier your form will not break down.

Try to weigh yourself at the same time of day each time. This way you aren't trying to account for what meals you've eaten, water you've drank, etc.

You can add ab work if you like. I do hanging leg raises to compliment my squats and deads. I would say if you're going to add it in then just make sure you're doing it after your core heavy movements.

I would recommend pull ups over lat pull downs (any day ... hands down) if you have somewhere you can do them. A much better exercise in my opinion.

yeh i can see why you would say that 5kg each workout is quite a rise i will weigh my self in the morning 8:30 before breakfast and protein shake and i wil add abb workouts can i do them on A & B days or just after hanging leg rasies,i wanna make sure im doing everything right so how should i workout ? currently i do a few stretches then walk/jog/run on treadmill then i wil do either workout A or B then abb exercises with my gym ball , ino form is MAJORLY important so to be sure i will tell you that i dont have any 1 to show me because i have my own set up at home and workout alone so i only have videos on youtube to rely on i watch lee heyward hes pretty clued up should i carry on watching and learning form from him or do you know any "better" videos ? cheers pal
