Key Takeaways
- Prioritize strength training 3-4x/week with progressive overload to build muscle while in a calorie deficit.
- Eat sufficient protein (1g per pound of body weight daily) to preserve muscle during fat loss.
- Manage recovery with 7-9 hours of sleep and deload weeks every 6-8 weeks to prevent burnout.
- Use walking (8-12k steps/day) for low-impact fat burning without stressing recovery.
- Cycle calorie intake – higher calories on training days, lower on rest days to balance energy.
Bottom Line
Focus on progressive strength training, high protein intake, and active recovery to simultaneously build muscle and lose fat sustainably.
