I started a cutting cycle about 6 weeks ago..and though in the beginning I had planned to only cut for 7 weeks (so Im done before my birthday) I'm gonna continue it for another 2 weeks (though Ill eat something very delicious on my birthday and not care about calories on that one day ;-)), because I see how I'm improving and that keeps me going. However, I was wondering if yall guys knew the feeling of being kinda depressed after cutting for a while? I had never heard about that, but it seems logic to me. When I think about what I'm gonna do with my life (as in college) right now I'm thinking to myself: uh no this major sucks..that one sucks..that's not really great either..I dunno if I cant get myself to study enough for that..and so on..but I know this feeling...cause thats how Im usually feeling when Ive been doing a diet for quite some time ;-). Anyways, Im just bored right now needed to get that off my chest and was wondering whether u guys knew the feeling...

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Know the exact feeling bro.
In fact, I'm workin on a new diet I've dialed in for this cutting cycle, and it involves super low carbs, which leaves me feeling depleted, and sometimes slightly depressed.
I think today I'm gonna do a carb up because I've been feeling flat like that lately....

Yeah, I wouldnt call it fun. However, you should be having a "cheat day" once a week. Where you eat what you want. Also make sure you eat your fats at the right times to boost testosterone levels!
But generally, no, its not THAT hard!

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Some ppl will disagree on this one, I know..however I think cheat days are great. Actually I never "planned" on doing it, but I just did it like every other week during cutitng..and well Ive thought of that idea, too and guess Ill soak it up, because it's really great when you know there's light at the end of the tunnel and it's just 6 days away..not 6 weeks or maybe months lol. Basically for me that cheat day has always been the day where I went out and partied..and drank alcohol (not overly much tho)...I think you should pay attention so you dont eat everything in reach on this certain day but rather eat normally as you'd do if u werent on a cutting diet..
...but i dont wanna do cheat days than the cutting pain will take longer.........I'm gonna give it another name then.... scratch out "cheat day" let's call it a "metabolic reset" or a "refeed day."
There's actually argument that if you don't go all out, but boost your calories to keep your body off guard, the fat los will stay ramped up and not decline.
haha, nice try semag=) but you have a valid point, then i will look up how to do real refeeds. i only know that you have to keep the fat VERY low.....but is this only for satured fats or for poly and monounsatured also? have you any information on refeeds? and thank you for your tips in my other thread.

"cheat days", trick your body into thinking you are taking in more carbs etc, and helps your body burn calories. "cheat days" are recommended by nearly all famous professionals who pull the best results. When I cut, I loose 1.5-2kgs a week. That is pretty damn fast, and my strenght actually slowly increases. (But then again, I dont cut to levels of 5% like competition bodybuilders, and I dont have to cut much fat, only several kilograms.
if you dont have to cut much fat than this is really fast! impressive that dont lose your strength but even gain some. then i'm pretty confident about a successful cut. i will do some refeed days if i feel too low on energy. thanks semag and clooney.
