This is the one that a lot of people get wrong. ๐ฌ
You work hard to build muscle. Then you go into a cut and lose it all along with the fat.
Hereโs how to protect your muscle while losing the top layer of fat:
1. Keep lifting heavy, donโt switch to light weights and high reps
2. Keep protein high, this is non-negotiable
3. Go into a slight deficit, not a crash diet
4. Prioritise sleep and recovery
5. Be patient, slow fat loss preserves more muscle
Save this ๐
