Is it possible to gain the bulging muscles of your dreams and lose enough fat to show off a lean, strong body at the same time? Should I start by focusing on increasing my muscle mass and my weight first, and burn the excess fat later?
Most people who want to start doing something to achieve the body they crave for come across these doubts. The truth is that no matter whether you are able to gain muscle mass, if you still have too much body fat, it will cover up your muscles, making them look soft and soggy. Any body fat percentage above 12% will prevent you from ever looking athletic and toned.
So... Is it possible to burn fat and build muscle at the same time?
The answer is: Yes!
How? By optimizing your diet and your exercise plan so that they maximize both muscle gain and fat loss.
However, while these two goals can be aimed for together, you won't develop your muscles to their maximum potential if you try to lose weight at the same time, and likewise, you won't lose fat at the fastest pace if you're trying to build muscles simultaneously. The reason is simple:
To develop muscle as fast as possible, on top of eating the right foods, your daily calorie intake must exceed your everyday needs. In other words, you have to eat more calories than you need per day. This way, your body will use the surplus to build muscle.
Conversely, to reduce as much body fat as fast as possible, you need to do exactly the opposite. Your daily caloric intake should be less than the quantity you need per day.
Despite these proven facts, there are a few tricks that will help you gain muscle and lose fat at the same time in ways you wouldn't have imaged possible.
I will now show you the 3 key factors that will help you reach your goal, as well as some easy tricks you can apply today to get closer to obtaining the body you want.
