He also covers calorie targets, protein intake, intermittent fasting, carb cycling, training volume, and why patience is one of the biggest advantages you can have when changing your physique.Whether you're carrying an extra 20 pounds or looking to add lean muscle without getting soft again, this episode will help you build a plan that works with your body instead of against it.In This Episode:Why most people fail trying to lose fat and build muscle at the same timeWhy getting lean first accelerates long-term muscle growthThe Metabolic Reboot Protocol explainedHow to use intermittent fasting and high-protein nutrition effectivelySustainable Shredding and carb cycling for continued fat lossWhen to transition from fat loss to muscle buildingHow to increase calories without regaining body fatThe best training splits for each phase of your transformationProgressive overload and why strength is a skillBuilding a physique you can maintain for years, not weeksIf you enjoyed this episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who's ready to stop starting over and finally build a lean, athletic body.
