From what I have researched it seems the general consensus seems to be that if I am lifting more weight and getting stronger as the weeks pass that I am not losing muscle. I have lost 2lbs a week (no more no less) for 10 weeks straight now. My macros are on point.
That said, these last 8 weeks I do plan on upping the calories just a hair so that I only lose 1.5 lbs a week. The main reason I am doing this is not because I think I am losing muscle but because I want to maintain a low bodyfat % as a lifetime thing. Obviously I am well aware that for many people on here what I am doing sounds like I am right on the line, but honestly I haven't felt this good in over a decade. It's a crazy feeling and one that I don't want to sabotage by overplaying my hand but at the same time by not capitulating to naysayers on message boards.
For sure. When all is said and done you know your body better than people on a message board. And if you are feeling great then good on you.
