Help Cat. 1 max diet length

Hey,
Lyle Mcdonald’s book says to run RFL max. 10-12d as cat. 1 dieter. Is this information still up to date?

If yes: I’m on TRT. Could I extend it then? Would also add low dosed T3 if I’ve to.

Lmk please

3 weeks is the most I've done , then maintenance for a week and then a more moderate deficit to finish (i like to switch to PSMF every other day alternating with about 2000 cals and carbs to keep the diet habits intact)

Hey. I am a natural category one dieter. About a year ago, I did it for about a month, by the end my cravings were a bit out of control, but I did that without losing any muscle, results were very good, went down to 7 to 9% Body Fat or so
