Tired of regaining the weight or losing muscle every time you diet? Sick of feeling like garbage during fat loss phases?

Today I'm breaking down The 3+3 Model, a science-based framework for optimal fat loss that separates what you absolutely need from what's just nice to have.

Learn the 3 foundational elements you must have in place for effective fat loss (the non-negotiables), plus 3 powerful enhancers that can take your results to the next level (the optimizers).

This isn't about suffering through chicken and broccoli or earning your carbs with cardio. It's about engineering a fat loss process that preserves your hard-earned muscle, maintains your metabolic rate, and actually feels sustainable.

Main Takeaways:

  • The 3 Non-Negotiables form the foundation of effective fat loss
  • The 3 Optimizers enhance your results once the foundation is in place
  • Weight loss is not the same as fat loss – this model ensures you lose fat while preserving your hard-earned muscle
  • A properly executed fat loss phase can actually improve your body's future muscle-building capacity through enhanced insulin sensitivity and nutrient partitioning
