INSIGHT

Focus On Fat, Not Scale

  • Chasing the scale misses the real goal: preserve muscle and lose fat instead.
  • Use body-fat measurements and how clothes fit to track true progress.
ADVICE

Prioritize Food Quality Over Calorie Cuts

  • Eat smarter by choosing high-quality protein, vegetables, fiber, and healthy fats instead of just cutting calories.
  • Avoid driving calories too low because under-eating raises cortisol and increases cravings.
ADVICE

Balance Strength Work And Cardio

  • Combine metabolic strength circuits three times weekly with zone-2 cardio on other days for best results.
  • Favor strength training to protect muscle during fat loss and alternate with cardio days.
