Fast or Slow Cut.

Is there any scientific evidence that supports a gradual cut over a shorter, more aggressive dieting phase?
Curious which approach works better for fat loss & muscle retention.

slow wins for me. i’m not sure on the details, but i think there’s a study on athletes where the slower group kept more muscle and even got stronger

Personally, I'd go with a slower cut. I find it easier to maintain strength and keep muscle while losing fat without feeling drained all the time.
