That's a very nice way to put it Alcoholiday. I've been on an extremely slow cut for about 4 years now coming from an all-time high of 85 kg and a setpoint of 68-72kg.
When it comes to training, there's a severe & extreme dislike of having to adapt training to a diet, and it's always been (and will be) the other way round.
Perhaps because of putting training first & diet 2nd weight/fat loss doesn't come naturally to me, it takes dedication to details , especially since my body doesn't take lightly to (severe) undereating.. any cut I do can be at most with a 10% deficit, which means that if I want to compete at 58kg in say 18 months from now, I'd better get started now as silly as this may sound.
I will guess it means .. just plod ahead like I was doing and see where I end up at, be it around 58kg, which theoretically is doable, or stay roughly where I am.
The only downside would be that I may need to build more LBM. Now is the time to do it, since I've already seen some neat changes since starting to lift. This was a reason to stop cutting 2 months ago. A (too) severe cut would stop that process. I've never ever been able to gain or even maintain LBM in any cut sofar.
