#286: The Ideal Pace for Fat Loss
Listen to this episode
Summary
Brian, Alberto, Jeff, and Brad discuss how fast someone should be losing weight based on their goals. Why is it important to pay attention to how you feel and not get too hung up on the numbers? What often happens to people when they get leaner than they are ready for? What factors influence how quickly someone should lose weight? What are the benefits of taking a phasic approach to fat loss? How necessary are mini-cuts? How long should a mini-cut last and how lean should someone be by the end of one? In what ways are a contest prep and general fat-loss phase similar? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.Timestamps0:00- Introduction1:09- How Alberto’s diet is different now that he’s started prepping 5:26- Factors that influence pacing 18:33- Where the concept of contest prep positioning came from 23:24- You have to look at your own history 31:08- The benefits of taking a phasic approach to fat loss38:35- How necessary are mini-cuts? 58:43- Mini-cut methods and length 1:02:56- Desired rate of loss during a mini-cut 1:13:28- Appropriately pacing your prep 1:18:09- Make sure to think about your health and the long term Selected Links From This EpisodePrep Positioning (Vault Course)- https://www.3dmjvault.com/courses/prep-positioningCoaching By Team 3DMJ- https://3dmusclejourney.com/coaching Monthly Applications In Strength Sport (MASS)- https://www.3dmusclejourney.com/massThanks for listening to The 3D Muscle Journey Podcast 💪 SIGN UP FOR ONE-ON-ONE COACHING SERVICES - https://3dmusclejourney.com/coaching/TAKE OUR VIDEO COURSES FOR SERIOUS LIFTERS - https://www.3dmjvault.com/bundles/vipWatch our show on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/team3dmj

Caroline Jordan
Ideas, morals, opinions, are incredibly complex in their composition and role in our lives. Why has our culture insisted that we subscribe to a black and white view of our surroundings? Are you tired of seeing in black and white? Are you too scared to try seeing in color? This isn't a political commentary podcast; it's a call to anyone who is tired of polarization.
