[Year's_End]

Dammit, so I've been doing some research...do I really have to go through extremes to get decent results? All the advice I'm finding suggests going through cutting/bulking phases completely independently of each other.This keto diet sounds a little too intense for me, so I'd rather just do something a little less strict and stick to that more consistently.

Should I do monthly phases of cutting and bulking, or is that too short? I' hate to lose a lot of muscle...
