As the title states, the rate at which my metabolism eats up my muscle is completely ridiculous. I finished my last (third) HST-cycle at 74 kg (163 lbs), which is an increase in 6 kg, since I started the cycle at 68 kg (150 lbs). Got a little bit sick (meaning I probably ate a little bit under maintenance), so I took some extra SD (close to two weeks). Now, as I'll be starting my next round tomorrow, I checked my weight again - I lost it all, I'm back at 68, and in that also keeping the not insignificant amount of bf I gained. This all means that I lost more muscle on an almost two week SD, than I gained on the entire cycle.
So I'm starting to think, maybe it isn't worth the struggle. Maybe I should just give up. It hurts so much just thinking like this, I'm not normally a quitter. But this is just ridiculous.
What should I do? Should I just wait another twenty years for my metabolism to slow down, and try again then? Is there some other solution for the complete garbage that is somehow my excuse for a genetic makeup?
