Cutting on the RP diet
-
Hello all,
I’ve been wanting to give Peating a try for some time now and I think now’s a good a time as any. I know weight loss isn’t really a big priority on this kind of diet but Im trying to cut weight right now. So I guess my question is, has anyone tried to cut on the RP diet? And if so how has your experience been?
Thanks!

When you’re cutting, either from restricting calories or preferably by raising the metabolic rate, you’re going to have less energy in the system and most facets of health will suffer. Focus on lowering stress and increasing youth-promoting hormones like thyroid, progesterone, pregnenolone, DHEA before and during the cut. A clean bulking phase followed by a shorter cutting phase serves well to bolster nutritional stores prior to the cut. In the cut, I would increase ratio of carbohydrates to protein slightly and prioritise gelatinous sources of protein over muscle meats. I would also focus more so in concentric loading of muscles during training. This is to lower inflammation while maintaining muscle mass during the cut.
