I'm three months into my cut. My body looks like a Greek statue carved primarily from anxiety and chicken breast. But my mental state is a damp sponge and my only life skill is calculating the glycemic index of air. Bodybuilding.com promised a *whole life transformation*. When does the 'getting laid and being happy' phase start? Did I miss the cheat code? Because right now, "building my life" just means meticulously tracking my sad, joyless caloric deficit. Also, if I trade this protein shake for a light beer, is it instant muscle loss or is there a 5-minute grace period? Asking for a society dropout.
