You can lose fat without losing muscle. Here's how.
The biggest mistake in a fat loss phase: cutting calories too aggressively.
A 200–400 calorie daily deficit is the sustainable zone. Enough to drive fat loss. Not so much that your body starts breaking down muscle for fuel.
Pair it with:
High protein intake (1.8–2.2g per kg).
Resistance training maintained — don't drop the weights to 'lean out'.
Enough carbohydrates to actually fuel your sessions.
The goal isn't to eat as little as possible. It's to eat as much as you can while still moving in the right direction.
