Do both

Go outside and drink more water, this has nothing to do with cutting calories.
you need to be MAINGAINING. Cutting and gaining is not the path for OPTIMAL PROGRESSION. People are talking about it ALL THE TIME and getting it wrong. You need to maintain your body fat WHILE GAINING MUSCLE.

why don't you?
Nobody on IST ever told me how to solve the ice cold hands/nose thing while cutting.
thats a circulation issue. and no i dont know how to fix it either, besides doing some really light weight exercise throughout the day to maintain blood flow.
could try carrying around one of those grip trainers and doing that every now and then? wont solve the cold numb face issue though
>cold hands while cutting
I get them too. Usually when I go for longer periods without food and/or am low on protein. It’s a good indicator when I should eat something.
Track your nutrients moron, and do more cardio. You're probably anemic due to a deficiency, and your body is probably used to high blood sugar swings now. Prediabetic fat ass.
I get this exact same thing, poor blood ciruclation etc. except with low blood sugar mood swings right before meals, which is why I get angry cooking meals sometimes lmao
it sucks
beta-alanine. 10g a day.
Train for performance and eat a surplus. You can just go McDougall when you're old if you're worried about heart attacks.
you forgot the spoonful of honey before the workout
idiot
Have you tried roids?
Why don't you just choose to do cardio anyway?
>Bald dyel pic
Huh?
>caffeine has entered the chat
Ahem
Delet
time your meals/macros better for maximum energy before workouts. also, quit being a fricking weenie
Do stimulants. Here is a legal one you snort. Make sure you dose it right. https://sceletium.com/product/sceletium-tortuosum-powder-extract-mt55/
If you're cutting calories by just removing carbs from your diet, you're never going to have energy for exercise. You're running empty on that medium-term fuel that allows you to sustain activity.
You need to maintain a healthy balance of protein, carbs, fat and fiber. Use your protein and fiber to make up the bulk of your meal but include a reasonable serve of carbs before exercise and you will see a significant increase in performance compared to that "low energy" state.
You also need to track macros and lower meal size to keep your calorie deficit, and if you're really keen to minimise carbs then just eat carbs in the two meals before your workout. Maintaining a balanced diet during cutting is more important because it helps you maintain stable energy levels for consistent training. If you lack the energy to train at the required intensity, you're in a net loss despite your nutrition because your strength and hypertrophy gains will be lower due to lower exercise volume overall.
Eat half an avocado on a wholegrain or wholemeal toast and 250ml black coffee with a scoop of protein 60-90 mins before you train.

Shut the frick up, moron. There's enough glycogen in your muscles to run for 3 hours straight before switching to fat and you're b***hing about casual workouts. You don't need shit before your average 1 hour of weightlifting or light cardio. Run a marathon, that needs fuel.
Based on actual science (NIH study "Fundamentals of glycogen metabolism for coaches and athletes", Murray & Rosenbloom, 2018), you'll deplete a meaningful amount of glycogen after 2 hours of activity at 65% of VO2 max. If you work harder at a higher percentage of one-rep max strength limits, you'll get there much faster. Also from the study, high intensity training depletes glycogen much faster than sustained endurance activity.
Regarding glycogen recovery, here is a direct quote from people who know better than you:
"For example, Starling et al.88 reported that 24 hours on a high-carbohydrate diet (9.8g/kg BW/d) restored 93% of the muscle glycogen oxidized during a prior 2-hour cycling bout at 65% V02max; a low-carbohydrate diet (1.9g/kg BW/d) restored only 13%."
This evidence provides a very obvious foundation for the role of carbs in medium and long-term glycogen availability over time. It's not about the expenditure today, it's about the replenishment. If you artificially create a situation where you are depleting more glycogen than you are replacing, you will experience increasing tiredness and fatigue.
To address this in a very simple way, consume carbohydrates as a component of a balanced diet. For recovery of glycogen, this can be achieved via 24 hour rest and a temporary high carb diet.
