Thanks for sharing @kartidaan
In general, it’s quite hard to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time which is why you often hear about shredding and bulking phases.
I like the article as a whole and think it provides some good advice so I’ll just pick out the bits it falls short.
- No need to calorie cycle and overcomplicate things.
Most people look at calorie deficit as a daily thing as that’s easy to track but it’s also helpful to view it on a weekly and monthly basis. This is why some people struggle to lose weight as they follow a calorie deficit plan during weekdays and then at the weekend eat what they like and it balances out to them not being in a calorie deficit across the whole week.
- “Some studies also show that too high protein intake can lead to kidney stones and other health problems”
Unless you have problems with your kidneys or have been advised by your doctor to follow a reduced protein diet, ignore this.
