When entering a cutting phase, many women struggle to maintain muscle while dropping body fat. Calorie deficits, protein intake, and training intensity all play crucial roles.
Discussion points:
•Ideal calorie deficit for women
•Recommended protein per kg of body weight
•Managing cravings and energy levels
•Cardio vs diet priority
Share your cutting meal plans and results.
Muscle preservation should be the goal not just seeing the lowest number on the scale
I made the mistake of under-eating and skipping workouts Lost weight but looked flat and weak
The best results I’ve seen come from people treating Reta as support for a solid training program not as the entire plan
Hard training gives your body a reason to hold onto muscle while dieting
Resistance training should be part of every fat-loss plan especially on GLP-1 medications
I’d rather lose one pound a week and keep my muscle than lose three and sacrifice strength.
My body composition improved far more once I focused on progressive overload instead of bigger deficits
Curious if anyone has done a direct comparison between AKH-Cu and GHK-Cu.
I’ve been researching both combinations and can’t decide which makes more sense for a long cutting phase.
I’ve been running MOTS-c with NAD+ injections for about 8 weeks. Honestly, recovery felt noticeably better and my energy in the gym stayed pretty consistent, but it’s hard to say which one was doing the heavy lifting.
For me, MOTS-c by itself was underwhelming. Added a 5-amino blend later and felt a little more endurance during cardio, but nothing crazy.
