Cutting is a phase in bodybuilding where an individual reduces their calorie intake and increases their exercise intensity in order to lose body fat while preserving muscle mass. This is typically done after a period of bulking, where the individual has consumed excess calories and gained weight in order to build muscle.
Cutting is important for bodybuilders who want to achieve a lean, muscular physique. By reducing body fat, they can improve their definition and vascularity, and make their muscles more visible. Cutting can also help to improve overall health and well-being by reducing the risk of obesity, heart disease, and other chronic conditions.
