I have been cutting for a little over 2 weeks now at 20% defecit every 3 days then back up to mantenance for 1. I checked my bf% today and was at 11.1% and I can tell im gettin alittle more ab definition,im 6ft at about 180, iwas at 11.8%bf so im guessing any results would start to show up fast since im close to single digits but I feel as though im gettin weaker especially th eshoulders, I havent had to drop any weight while i lift but i have to try a hell of a lot harder and push it to keep lifting the same weight. At the same time i gained 2lbs a couple of days ago and i thought it was water or something but ive kept it constant (since saturday). So im really confused about this result. I gained about 2lbs, lost bf% but am getting progressively weaker (fast), what does this mean and am I doing something wrong w/diet to lead to weakness (its happening pretty fast so im worried)
heres my diet someone mention that Its cuz I dont have a rest day but ive been doin cardio like this since i can remember, i even used to do more!!! and I dont feel tired or anything, havent been sick
breakfast-2 servings oatmeal, whey protein
lunch-whole wheat pasta (plain tomato sauce) or yams (some sort of complex carb, a can of tuna (plain just for protein), a glass of skim milk.
snack-omlette w/ egg beaters/ apple
snack-peanutbutter w/pretzels/veggies
dinner-brown rice/chicken veggies and post workout whey protein shake
snack-oatmeal cookies (cant live w/o em haha)
this is my deficit diet (2700cals)
on a mantenance day I just increase portion sizes and add a extra whey protein shake 1hr before workout (3400 cals)
-mantenance is high cuz i do cardio 7 days a week/lift 4 if you were wondering

I'm no expert, but maybe 7 days of cardio is too much?
Maybe try going without it, just for a day and having some rest?

I'm guessing if you're feeling weak you're probably close/already are overtraining.
 
yah i was just gonna take a break today but man when I lifted yesterday ihad to try so hard with the same weight you know that feeling after you run real hard and feel a little dizzy and like your almost gonna throw up, yah thats how i felt except after lifting
 
I really think you're overtraining if you are feeling that way.

Try resting for a day or two then if the problem persists go see your doctor.
 
Menopause is a natural part of being a woman, and as hormone levels change it can create a host of symptoms, including weight gain.
