In my experience I have to gain weight to gain strength. How can I keep strength and cut 20 lbs? Is it possible with the right regimen and diet?
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Gain strength and cut - is it possible?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I lost 15 pounds of fat while also setting personal bests in all of my lifts. I was stronger than I'd ever been. Granted, my diet was super strict; I lived and breathed my macros for a year straight. It all depends on how bad you want it.
I used intermittent fasting and reverse pyramid training via Martin Berkhan (leangains.com). Best lifting/diet advice I've ever found, and I've been researching lifting for over 15 years. Different things work for different people, though.
PM me if you want specifics.

When you loose weight, your gonna have a decrease in strength. So, once you "cut" down to whatever size you want, your gonna have to work your way back up to that strength with your new body weight. Depending on how much you loose and other variables things could go either way. Everybody is different, only way you will know is by trial and error until you get more experience and find what works for you.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

I think you need to clarify that you want to gain strength and cut FAT, not weight in general. Like Krueg said, highly unlikely you are going to gain strength without maintaining or adding muscle weight.
In that case, yes it's possible but only with very clean eating and plenty of protein. Need to make sure you take in some good carbs too, especially after a workout.

As per my point of view fresh drinks and low diet food is a must, and it needs to digest at time. In order to digest properly drink protein shake and make sure to take in some carbs too.

You can gain strength on a cut... If you had been inactive.JustinBustin said:
You can maintain most of your strength on a cut, if you take your time and drop weight. Drop 1-3 lbs a week, by adding cardio, and adjusting diet... You can keep most of your strength.
If you lost a bunch of water or lose weight too fast, you won't feel as powerful.

If you are a noob, yes.
You shouldn't really try to lose weight per se but recomp.
If you are a noob all you need to do is get on a 5x5 and stay at maintainance, you will increase muscle mass and reduce fat for about the first 3 months.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
