and you remain truth to your ide of being a vegan for this period or are you willing to give it up for a bit?
Cutting is all a caloric math game:
you burn more than you eat and you are good to go.
There are 3 ways to do this:
1. Eat less
2. Burn more
3. A combination of the 2... the only actual "correct" way to do it, since there is a limit to how little you can eat, but no limit to how much you can burn!
How many cals are you eating just now in average? With this many cals, are you maintaining, losing or gaining weight? take a sample day of your life and figure out all that you eat.
You must now that in order to cut FAT and not muscle too (gaining that skinny look) you will not to also lift weights, not to gain new muscle or "get big) (people actually think it is that easy) but simply to SAVE what muscle you have now...
Believe me, when confronted with the decision of what to burn first for fuel, the body will ALWAYS burn first muscle than fat if it has no use for the muscle
