Approaching my short, weight loss cycle. I expect to be on it for about 2 months. I begin June 1. I find myself concerned. Do I still remember how to do this? Of course. Can I still do it? I worry I may not be able to get back into the mindset of restricting calories. I know I can. Will I?

When you go to a cutting cycle, how much lower do you reduce your calories?

Thanks, Chad and jmb... I feel better already? lol. @Torzie. The dogma is 20% calorie cut max to retain muscle mass. I'm not big on dogma, but as it happens my maintenance looks to be in the ball park of 2700 so I'll be cutting 500 from the calories and going with 2200. That's the equivalent of almost 1 pound of fat per week. There are two other things I'll be doing. 1. Calorie cycling. I'll eat higher on weight lifting days. A lot of people feel this is foolishness, but it does something a flat line diet doesn't do. a) It lets me feel fuller [sic] four days a week. b) It replaces the energy I use on the day of the exercise. Proteins I will attempt to spread evenly over all days. 2) I will use carb back loading on the days that I lift after the workout. The days I'm not working out I'll eat under 100 gr per day of carbs. Those carbs will also be back loaded but not for an insulin spike. They will be clean carbs. 180 gr protein per day is my target. This is 1.2 gr per lb of lean body mass. Current lean mass is around 150, about 25 pounds on top of that is fat putting me at 177. My estimation is that I'm somewhere around 16% body fat. Shooting for 10 - 12%. I'm also doing a cut for three weeks and then eating at maintenance for a week to restore leptin levels. It's all an expermiment. I will likely go through four or five cycles over the next year or year and a half before I decide what really works for me. There are so many possibilities.

I do like cycling. Hoping the scale likes it too when I weigh in on Friday. Beautiful photograph.
