Botched cut

[BulldogMatt]

Hi all,
So I had a bad episode of virus and ended up in the A&E.
This totally killed my metabolism, so now I eat 1850 kcal and which is my BMR and lifting weights 4 times a week, doing either kickbox or HIIT 2x a week.
I am 178 lbs and I have no idea about my BF: it's something between 11-14%. (Can only see 4 out of 6 packs.

Should I start reverse dieting and get back to the cut in September or push it through by adding T3? How long can one be on a calorie deficit before impacting the CNS/ overtraining?

TDEE: 2870
5'7"
178 lbs
33y

Thanks!

Them stats are good mate!

whats your goals?

How do you know your metabolism is killed?

how long have you been eating at 1850?

Thanks buddy!
Well I have been eating my BMR since I got released from Hospital (3 weeks ago) and put back 6lbs since, though I know most of it was water, as I was dehydrated.
I got another illness /sore throat +fever/ (can't believe that I am that unlucky!!) so I might have to rest a bit anyway.
I guess I will stay on BMR then reverse diet up to my TdEE and take it slowly.

Sorry to hear that mate!

I would eat at maintenance mate, at least until you are feeling well again.....no point in putting your body under any more stress.

Then re-evaluate.

Will do, thanks bro! Decided to take it easy, start my pct and stabilise for 4-5 months. Have done some research and chances are that sleep deprivation combined with cycle +stress was too much for my immune system... .

During PCT I will introduce some clen - the upside of having asthma is easy access to pharma clen lol

Exactly what I was going to say. . I agree, take it easy and look at it in a couple more weeks : )
