I'm 26 years old, 5'6" and normally weigh somewhere in the mid 120s. I've been lifting for about 5 years. I have some extra fat on my stomach and want more ab definition. I also store fat on my hips, and when you have high hips it looks pretty terrible.
I have never successfully stuck to counting macros before because I just didn't care, but I want to compete in the future so I need to get used to doing this. I suspect that my metabolism is pretty high, as I've always been able to eat whatever I want and stay the same weight, but I worry about things like high cholesterol and other bad health effects of eating so much now that I am getting a bit older.
So I'm a week into my cut. I'm on 2000 calories (225/67f/125p) and it feels like starvation. I'm shaky, cold, slow, clammy and having trouble sleeping. My workouts are very weak and when I stand up, I'm dizzy. I expect to lose some muscle during this cut of course but I feel like I can't lift anything! Oh, and I've only lost ONE POUND. ONE.
I am eating a lot of vegetables and lean proteins, spreading out my meals and drinking a lot of water.
Is this normal and just the way it has to be? Does the hunger go away after a few weeks? I'm very committed to this but am looking for ways to make it less miserable.
