    Muscle size on a cut

    I've been cutting for about 2 weeks. I've lost about 3.5 pounds, and i'm assuming some of it water weight. I also look absolutely deflated. Am i being paranoid, or do muscles appear smaller when you are on a cut. I thought i might have heard that when your body is in a calorie deficit, the muscle don't appear as large. I hope that's true, because i don't like the way im looking right now.

    I guarantee you it's all mental. 3.5 pounds is hardly a noticeable difference unless you are 5 feet tall.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

    Yeah I'd agree.....but you probably might "feel" smaller...not as pumped or full because of the diet.

    If you're eating less carbs, you could be smaller.
