Hi Rob... sorry to hear your back is so bad again - probably few things worse then a bad back.
Past 7 months have been dire with my back too. Was told need 2nd surgery, but don't want to go down that road again, despite daily pain etc. Eight weeks ago got a Caudal Epidural injection and a month ago started new physio programme locally and going swimming twice a week for an hour and my back has improved massively in just four weeks.
What rehab programme are you trying? I'm always interested in learning about things that could improve my back.
As for diets... not sure if any of them are good for you in the long run. What I mean is if you don't eat balanced and cut out certain things completely you might not get all your body needs and hence create problems down the road. Also, going on a diet for 2-4-6 months whatever is all good and well, but what happens after you hit your target weight?
Kevin's (KMboost) and Seanie's previous posts are spot on I think and their approach has worked for me.
Few years ago I was overweight and lost about 17kgs in about 4 months (personal circumstances rather than a diet)... since then I eat all I want, just less of it and have been lucky enough to be able to maintain my weight for over 4 years now at around 70kgs. Just minding about eating not too many chips and crisps etc and normal sized portions and normal balanced meals.
Good luck with it fella!

.. I was going great, I was down over 4 stone in total and doing my back twice this year so far, along with a honeymoon of excess, I've put about 2 back on again.
