I've been cutting now for about 2 weeks. I'm still getting the diet dialed in exactly. I lift Heavy 3 times a week with a full body routine focusing on squats, bench, military, deads, and rows. This week i started doing 20 minutes of low intensity cardio almost every day. I started at 222, i'm at 212 now!!! I just cycled off creatine, is most of this water or am i losing too fast? My calories are never below 2400, I eat 6 meals a day ranging from 400-500 calories, i try to stay 50/30/20. I just started MAN Vaporize/Scorch stack. I've been chugging Yerba Mate. I don't think i'm losing muscle as my deadlift and squat have been increasing still, but my bench is plateaued.
so have i just lost the initial water weight? or am i losing way too fast?

It's hard to tell so soon in your program. It comes off fast in the beginning. If it keeps coming off that quickly, you probably do need to adjust things.
I lost 17 pounds in my first month. Then never lost that much in a month again!

Exactly.Originally Posted by MrLovrLovr
I'd say its mostly water but definitely some fat mixed in. Everything you are doing is great, don't worry about the initial loss, if anything be happy cause later its going to be going down a lot slower...
good job

going off creatine will cause weight loss. (water) i lost 5 when i went off it.

I lost 8 pounds my first week then the following week lost 4 pounds. I was eating properly and was doing everything right. Maybe it has to do with the body suddenly being shocked into a new diet and the cardio, i have no idea.

You're only losing too fast if your strength is going down I'd say.
