I've also been on a pretty restrictive cut from 2200 cal/day to about 1300-1400 (210/40/40 p/c/f) (which isn't working particularly well from a loss standpoint that I can't suss out, but 1800 didn't work either - WTF?) for about 6 weeks.
BTW, male, 49, 5'10", 205 lb shooting to get to 190 lb, being sick of the 42-43" waist. Training 3x week, riding 40 minutes at my top sustainable pace 3x week. Have hit all the low (and higher up) hanging fruit in regards to good sleep habits (they have been in place years). Lifts have not crashed but not progress either (I have not expected them too).
Mostly noting a correlation and wondering if you've seen that it could be causation. Or is it just coincidence.
Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
