Hello,
I'm currently three weeks into a cutting phase and dropping weight rapidly:
Starting weight: fluctuating between 95 and 96 kg
Current weight after 3 weeks: 90.3 kg
I am completely natural, 27 years old, with testosterone levels in the 800s, and a height of 1.81m. I'm only taking 12 - 16 mg of Salbutamol per day.
My daily calorie intake ranges from 2500 to 2700, with a minimum of 200g of protein, and a roughly even split of 33% for each macronutrient.
I'm following a 5-day workout routine: push, pull, legs, upper body, and arms, with 20 - 30 minutes of LISS cardio after weightlifting sessions (not every day). I also ensure I have 2 full rest days. My weightlifting sessions are intense, focusing on heavy lifts with ample rest periods. I don´t want to evoke hunger.
I'm not experiencing significant hunger or anxiety from my diet, and I'm maintaining strength in basic movements, so I'm not losing strength.
My diet feels like a detox, with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and low-calorie dense foods. My stomach feels great, and even my skin is improving.
I'm curious as to why the weight loss is happening so rapidly. Could Salbutamol be playing a role? Should I increase my calorie intake to prevent muscle loss in the future? Or everything is going smoothly (as it feels) and naturally will slow down over time?
