    Eat more. It's a journey, not a race.

    A bigger deficit = a higher chance of losing muscle mass

    Less muscle = slower metabolism

    I always aim to lose as slowly as possible. I've lost 2 pounds in the past 9 weeks while lifting, but I already look noticeably leaner. The goal is to eat as much as possible while still losing weight.

    "Eat as much as possible while still losing wait" thank you FujiBerry for the reminder that this is a journey.
