mixx, your math is screwy.
base rate plus calories burned by exercise = your maintenance rate of caloric consumption. anything else is caloric deficit.
caloric deficits of any kind are necessarily catabolic.
you dont simply get to chose that your caloric deficit is solely made of up fat loss.
according to your math you are losing over a pound a day of pure fat.
as someone who is already at 10% BF, that is clearly impossible.
I also think you're wildly over estimating your caloric burn.
(i have both lost 60 lbs and gained 60 lbs on purpose so I have some idea of what i am talking about here)

so exactly how long do you stay on this diet then because by my math...
you'd lose 30 lbs (not necessarily fat all fat, and in fact, impossible given the stated BF%)
and
over 7 inches on your waistline
in one month

lets look at it another way
you say 203 lbs 10% BF
that means, 20.3 lbs of body fat.
according to your math you'd be at 0% body fat in 20.3 days.
listen dude, you are clearly a valued forum member. i've read a lot of your posts, you are very very helpful. and the minneapolis/fargo stuff was really memorable.
but in this case i'm concerned that another brother was looking for advice on presumably sustainable dietary applications and what you're talking about appears to not only be unsustainable but not entirely accurate.
just trying to work this out

Don't be.
I was not posting this as my advice for the OP, I already gave that advice on post no. 2. I was asked what MY TRAINING cycle is like, and I posted it. Process it whichever way you must, I'm not pushing anyone else to do it, as a matter of fact, I strongly encourage EVERYONE HERE TO NOT DO WHAT I AM DOING!
I already gave you a link as to where I am getting this training guide from, well, the basis of it anyway.
I posted it for informational purposes, not as advice.
Mixx
fair enough!

5'11" <<-- I'm working on that problem too
just out of curiosity, when you say 36" inch waist, do you mean according to jean sizes or by tape measure?

Even Dr Atkins, the most anti- calorie guy in the world, used to say that you should watch your calorie intake too.
Have you ever been tested to find out your BMR (base metabolic rate) and/or VO2 Max?
Those kinds of information can be really useful in determining the best way to meet your fitness goals.
When I had my BMR checked I found out I was eating too few calories and my body was going into fat storage mode, so i was losing weight at first, but the weight I was losing was muscle. The lost muscle in turn lowered my metabolism, which in turn made it harder to continue to lose weight.
I would find a place to get those type of tests done (and maybe also get some micronutrient testing too) and then talk their professionals about the results and how they apply to your goals.

or it could simply be the thermogenic effect of your metabolism.
Carbs don't require much energy to be broken down. Protein and Fat require a HUGE deal of energy from your body to break them down.
You are stimulating your metabolism by going on your low carb diet which does increase body temperature
