So I'm 9 weeks into my cut. Running a 1000 calorie deficit according to my fitness tracker but my body started fighting back hard under 15% body fat. My resting heart rate is like 50bpm. Blood pressure was 93/60 at the dentist the other day lol. Only losing about a pound a week now.
Me and chat gpt figure I will hit 10% body fat around the end of march. Going to get a dexa scan if it don't have to drive too far.
Pretty much all I think about is food. Grocery shopping for my chicken and protein powder is actual torture. They just have hot dogs ready to eat sitting at the front of Walmart. I want a hot dog so bad.
I've lost over 20 lbs. back to the weight I started bulking at in August and I'm about 4-5% less body fat now than then. Surprised I'm still going up in squat and deadlift. Bench has pretty much plateaued for now. My workouts have really been taking longer the last two weeks. Recovering between sets take longer and sometimes I just spend half an hour thinking about starting. Only 6 more weeks.

Dexa scans are useless and using chatgpt as an assistant is r-slurred.
Good luck

They aren't reliable enough to be more useful than just looking at your body

Yeah but I'm more biased than a dexa scan when determining how fat I am. It's not accurate enough to go get one every month to determine if your training is more or less effective but it's accurate enough for what I'm going for. It's more reassurance than that I'm not lying to myself and something I can compare with in 15 months at the end of my next cut. It's accurate enough for that even if it is off 1-2% on my body fat

Just use your weight and take pictures neighbor they tell you a lot more about your body comp than a scan

I read somewhere that you shouldn't cut for too long, maybe 12 weeks?

Most people get pretty tired of it. I imagine progress is pretty slow by 12 weeks. I'm thinking of doing a 3-5 day refeed and eat maintenance calories or slightly above if I hit a wall and then finish dieting. I was originally planning on being done soon but didn't account for my metabolism slowing down so much. lol I though that was just some shit fatties said
