Not true, beginners and detrained athletes get bigger losing weight all the time. This is really a function of body fat %. The lower your bf % the harder it is to gain muscle while losing fat.
- matwood 3y agoI'm talking about an actual cut, not people simply losing weight because they cleaned up their diet and started lifting.
- Kirby64 3y agoThat is a cut. A cut is literally any calorie deficit from maintenance. If you lose weight by changing your diet (or energy expenditure while keeping diet the same) by definition you’re on a cut. Most people that deliberately do this would cut at 200-600kcal a day to be effective though, otherwise minor fluctuations make a, say, 100kcal deficit difficult to measure.
