Introduction

Losing weight can be a difficult journey, especially when trying to decide whether to cut or bulk. A Reddit user, [deleted], shared their experience on the r/BulkOrCut subreddit to ask for advice on whether to cut even though they didn't have much muscle mass.

The Starting Point

[Deleted] shared their stats - a 6'3 male at 230 pounds. They admitted to not having much muscle mass but expressed their desire to lose weight. Their goal was to get lean and see their abs for the first time in their life.

The Decision to Cut

Despite not having much muscle mass, [deleted] decided to cut. They believed that losing fat was important to reveal any muscle definition they had and improve their overall health. They opted for a calorie deficit with a high protein intake and incorporated weightlifting to maintain their current muscle mass.

The Results

After two months of cutting, [deleted] shared that they had lost 20 pounds and noticed significant changes in their body. They reported feeling more energized and confident and finally saw visible abs. They recognized the importance of not just losing weight but also building muscle and planned to start a bulk after their cut.

Conclusion

Weight loss and body transformation journeys are personal, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. [Deleted]'s experience shows that even if you don't have much muscle mass, cutting can still be a viable option to achieve your weight loss goals. However, incorporating weightlifting and ensuring a high protein intake can help maintain muscle mass during the cut. The most important factor is to listen to your body and make a decision that works best for you.
