NOTE

Balancing Fat Loss and Muscle Gain

For individuals who are overfat and under-muscled, the focus should be on enhancing physical strength rather than solely aesthetic gains. Starting with a foundational approach that encourages strength and hypertrophy through consistent repetition is essential. Prioritizing dietary protein is crucial, as it is difficult to convert to fat and has a high thermic effect, stimulating muscle protein synthesis effectively. While it is feasible to lose fat and gain muscle simultaneously, it is often more beneficial to prioritize fat loss first. This shift in perspective—focusing on gain rather than loss—can significantly impact motivation and results. Recognizing the body's adaptive response to calorie reduction is also vital in this journey, emphasizing the importance of a balanced diet rich in protein to support overall physical capabilities.
