Main issue: I was thrilled that food noise got quiet, then realized I was also accidentally under-eating most weekdays. My workouts did not crash dramatically. It was more subtle: same dumbbells felt heavier, stairs felt annoying, and I kept saying I was 'just tired.' When I actually counted protein for three normal days, it was embarrassingly low. This week I am testing two anchors: a shake before noon and a small protein dinner even if dinner is not exciting. Anyone else have strength drop before they noticed real muscle loss?

If you track anything besides weight this month, track repeatable lifts or basic strength markers. They keep the conversation out of pure scale logic.

For me the first signal was warmups feeling stupidly heavy. I did not look smaller yet, but performance was already telling on me.
