Episode Synopsis

What’s your goal? Lose fat? Build muscle? Or maybe both?In this episode, I delve into the science and strategy behind body recomposition – the process of simultaneously losing fat and gaining muscle. It’s not about perfection or punishment, but about getting the basics right and sticking with them.Why “eat less, move more” isn’t enough when your goal is to recomposeThe essential roles of protein, carbs, and fats in building muscle and losing fatHow alcohol and high-fructose corn syrup quietly undermine your progressHow to find the calorie “sweet spot” for simultaneous fat loss and muscle gainYou'll also hear the inspiring transformation story of James Rice, who lost nearly 70 kg, won a national body transformation championship, and wrote the book Transform Yourself.https://www.100poundwar.com/Key Takeaways:Macronutrients matter – protein repairs, carbs fuel, fats support hormones.Calories count, but so does how and what you eat.Alcohol and HFCS: enjoyable?
