Trying to lose fat but don’t want your strength to fall off a cliff?

This is where most people mess it up.

They cut calories too aggressively, add more cardio, train with less intent… and end up weaker, flatter, and burnt out.

In this episode, we break down exactly how to lose fat while maintaining (and even improving) your strength — especially if you’re balancing running and lifting.

We cover:

- Why strength is a skill you need to keep practicing
- How to train with intensity in a calorie deficit
- The role of carbs in performance
- Why high protein is non-negotiable
- How aggressive dieting is killing your progress
- Managing cardio when you’re already running
- When and why to use diet breaks
- Why consistency (including weekends) is everything

If you want to get lean without sacrificing performance, this is how you do it.
