Dude holy shit. I've been cutting for about 8 weeks now, lost ~25lbs total. Went from ~190 to ~165. At this point, I don't really want to go any smaller because below 165 at my height (6'2) will look way too lanky. I already don't like being this thin as it is. Still, even at this weight, I thought I looked soft and puffy- I couldn't see my abs and my jaw was a bit obscured. I felt like I couldn't possibly have that much more fat to lose considering how much body weight I already dropped.
Anyway, the other night I decided to drop acid because I was bored and feeling some existential dread. I weighed myself before the trip, and I was 176. During the trip I sweat so profusely that I dropped down to 168 overnight. When I got out of bed and looked in the mirror, my jawline was razor sharp, and I had a perfect chiseled six pack. This whole time I thought my bf% was the problem, but it turns out I've just been insanely bloated.
Maybe this could be the case for some of you as well. Maybe you aren't actually that high of bf% and just chronically bloated for some reason. I don't know why I would be so bloated, but I'll try to get to the bottom of it. My best guess is chronic cortisol elevation or maybe some kind of food intolerance.
