Nutrition, Resistance Training, and Cardio for Fat Loss
When aiming to lose body fat, a caloric deficit, resistance training, and cardio are vital components. Emphasizing a nutrition plan with about a 25% reduction in calories and prioritizing protein intake at around 0.75 grams per pound serves as a foundational fat loss strategy. While cardio and reducing calories are both impactful for fat loss, resistance training plays a critical role in body recomposition by maintaining lean muscle mass during weight loss efforts.
