Well that will do it. Another successful cut and i know that because i went from 2D to 1D. Going to add some carbs, water and food weight and hopefully will fill out a bit for the holiday next week. Got pretty bad anxiety / depression through this cut, that was the hardest part, hunger wasnt an issue, nothing else really just felt really miserable. If i cut again im thinking maybe the 2nd week of Jan? Not sure, will see.

BW:81.1kg (Day 20/21)

Kind of adapting to low carbing. I'm considering taking creatine early but my plan is to wait til later. I do think creatine is THE killer supplement now having tried without it. It doesn't just give rapid increases in performance and size - but training with creatine long term is where the real gains lie. Most studies probably don't take that into account though. It allows you you to consistently train and recover better and over an extended period of time, it really pulls you away. Similar argument prob for preworkouts like caffeine. I managed to get by on 100mg of caffeine per day when i was training hard but i could have gone the other way and approached 800mg like KF to really get the most out of my organism.  Nevertheless for now im going to stay off creatine and will be tapering off caffeine to between 0-100mg, come end of cut.

Last week of cuttin, here we go! According to my watch im averaging 6hrs of sleep per night. Would like to improve that now that ive checked the numbers, it's as bad as I thought.

Feels like the scale has hit a hard brake around 82kg considering i broke it early in the first week im not sure what to make of it all but nevertheless ive leaned out noticably. However this is also accompanied with the usual sense of dread of 'damn why did i get so fat .. and there is nothing left there except skin, bones and fat'. To make matters worse ive got a holiday in ~10 days and im not lean enough to stop cutting but i do better mentally being heavier.
