cutting in puberty is retarded tbh, ur just gonna end up underdeveloped permanently. Realistically you should always be eating, ofc eating right but eating. This is why most people who were fat as a kid have well developed faces and are tall. Not encouraging mfs to be fat but cutting during development is stupid, limiting potential for temporary aesthetics
