HOW TO TRAIN DURING A FAT LOSS PHASE TO LOSE FAT WITHOUT LOSING MUSCLE | FAT LOSS SERIES PART 2 | EP. 221

Most people think fat loss is just about eating less.And while your diet determines whether or not you lose weight, your training determines what that weight loss actually looks like from a physique standpoint.Are you losing body fat while maintaining muscle and building a leaner, stronger, more defined physique?Or are you just becoming a smaller, scrawnier version of yourself?That distinction comes down to how you train through the diet, and most dieters get it wrong.In Part 1 of this Fat Loss Series, I broke down the nutrition side of the fat loss process and how to create a calorie deficit without creating a nutrient deficit. In this episode, we shift into the training side and break down why resistance training is non-negotiable during a deficit, what it actually protects, how to structure it for muscle preservation, and the common training mistakes that derail dieters who feel like they’re doing everything right.HERE’S WHAT WE COVER:WHY YOUR DIET DETERMINES WEIGHT LOSS BUT YOUR TRAINING DETERMINES YOUR PHYSIQUEWHY MUSCLE MASS IS THE FOUNDATION OF A BETTER LOOKING, BETTER PERFORMING PHYSIQUETHE METABOLIC, HORMONAL & APPETITE CONSEQUENCES OF LOSING MUSCLE DURING A DIETWHY HYPERPHAGIA & BODY FAT OVERSHOOTING DERAIL POST-DIET MAINTENANCETHE RESEARCH BACKING RESISTANCE TRAINING AS THE MOST EFFECTIVE FORM OF EXERCISE DURING A DEFICITPROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD AS THE FOUNDATION OF EFFECTIVE FAT LOSS TRAININGTHE DOUBLE PROGRESSION MODEL AND HOW TO USE IT IN A DEFICITHOW TO MANAGE TRAINING VOLUME, INTENSITY & EFFORT THROUGH A CUTTHE NUANCE OF PROGRESSION AND PERFORMANCE CHANGES AS YOU GET LEANERPROACTIVE VS REACTIVE PROGRAMMING DURING A FAT LOSS PHASETHE FOUR TRAINING MISTAKES THAT QUIETLY SABOTAGE FAT LOSS PHASESWHY TURNING LIFTING INTO CARDIO BACKFIRESTHE HIDDEN COST OF OVER-RELYING ON HIIT DURING A DEFICITWHY PROGRAM HOPPING REMOVES PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD FROM THE EQUATIONTHE MINDSET SHIFT THAT SEPARATES DIETERS WHO PRESERVE MUSCLE FROM THOSE WHO DON’TIf you’ve ever finished a Fat Loss Phase feeling smaller but not better, or felt like your physique didn’t look the way you expected after weeks of effort, this episode will give you the framework to approach your next cut the right way.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon’s Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail: [email protected] Reading Recommendations:THE MUSCLE & STRENGTH PYRAMIDShttps://getdpd.com/cart/hoplink/25469?referrer=1l54og96lf1ccw
