You should be losing about 1-2 lbs/week, any more and you're burning muscle! Happened to me, and I had to adjust by diet! And strength loss is normal while cutting! Just monitor your weight!

Monitor your bf% and pay attention to losses of lean mass.

1) Reduce training volume
2) Lose only 1-2 lbs per week (a good plan-weigh on empty stomach every saturday morning)
3) Make sure that your blood sugar levels are stable
4) take creatine and eat plenty of salt
