Importance of Protein and Exercise for Fat Loss

To achieve fat loss, it is crucial to prioritize protein intake and engage in regular resistance training. Protein is highly satiating and helps preserve muscle mass. Consuming around 1 gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight is recommended. Resistance training, which involves putting maximum tension on muscles to stimulate growth, is essential to signal the body to build more muscle. Cardiovascular exercise is also important for overall health and optimizing body composition. High-intensity workouts, approaching maximum heart rate, and endurance training should be incorporated into a weekly exercise routine.
