Is my plan to cut weight while using semaglutide, maintaining a daily average of 2600 calories for 3-4 weeks and then having one week back at 2800-3000 calories a day, a good approach?
I'm 38, 267 pounds, and I've been following MAPS programs for over a year. Over the holidays, I ate too much and put on 15 pounds. My maintenance seems to be around 3000-3500 calories. I need to cut weight. I started semaglutide, and during the first week, I maintained a daily average of 3000 calories. In the second week, I reduced it to 2600 calories. I plan to stay around 2600 for 3-4 weeks and then have one week back at 2800-3000 calories a day. Is this a good plan?
I’m 3 weeks into using Semaglutide, hoping to shed some fat. I lift heavy weights (for 5 years), consume 150g of protein, and about 1300 calories. I am nervous that this approach isn’t suitable for me but need help understanding if it is or not. I also need help understanding what to do when I stop taking Semaglutide, as I don’t want the effects to be permanent.
