Maintaining high protein intake and strength training is essential to preserve muscle during the process. Awareness of weight loss speed is important, as rapid losses may indicate muscle loss alongside fat.

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?
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?
Am I on the right track if I keep bumping my calories by 100 until I hit 3300 calories, and then cut back 100 calories every three weeks to make my new maintenance level 3000 calories, if I'm currently at 2900 calories, have lost 2 pounds, and my muscles look more defined while reverse dieting from 2800 calories to 3300 calories?
