I have learned that even on just TRT doses I can cut down about 1-2 lbs a week and maintain muscle mass and strength. Of course strength changes day by day and depends on many factors besides the diet. You will need to go through feeling a little depleted or flat. But when you’ve gone 2 months on a diet and lost 10-15 lbs, then you eat a regular diet, your muscles will fill right back up without the excess fat and water surrounding them.
You just have to get rid of any junk in your house. You also don’t need to eat just rice and chicken all the time. I could never diet on rice. For me, it was flavored tuna packets, a lot of chipotle bowls with 1/2 a regular serving of rice, Kefir yogurt drinks, a lot of omelettes with spinach and a piece of grain bread, etc.
Dieting definitely works, you just have to be real with yourself and notice where you slip up, and correct that.
