The Reach Your Peak Experience (A Sports Nutrition Podcast)

One of the more common body composition-related questions is whether or not one should focus on fat or muscle first.

The truth is that there is no universal rule or guideline to follow here as its very much nuanced and contextual.

However, there are ways to help make a more informed decision and that is what today is about. 

In today’s episode, I share with you 1 question you can ask yourself to help guide you on answering whether you yourself should start with fat loss or building lean muscle mass.

So many are so you are not alone.

"Where did my muscle go?!" - Many people after thinking they are smaller than they should be after a cutting phase post bulk.

So what is happening here? Did you actually lose the muscle?

When it comes to nutrition I have realised that many hardships for people stem from a poor understanding of what to expect which is worsened by unrealistic expectations.

So why does this matter for this situation?

Why does approaching a health and nutrition goal have to feel so external to everything else in our life?

Why do we think how we plan for and execute our plan to achieve a fat loss goal or muscle building goal or leveling up performance…needs to be something fancy or different?

Importantly, today I want to show you how you can break down a goal and start taking steps towards achieving it using a real-life example from my life that I use, which may be familiar to you.

Using this “tactic” you will see that anything can be achievable when you approach things strategically and cleverly.

It comes down to some simple maths and a methodological mindset. 

In today’s episode, I teach you how.

Forget Dominos. Forget Pizza Hut. Forget the local place that does the “Best Pizza in Hogwarts”.

Today I ordered a pizza for you from The Climbing Dietitian HQ.

This pizza is heavy on the educational sauce and the knowledge is cooked to perfection.

I am talking about my signature dish…the Pizza Analogy for Nutrition Prioritization.

Particularly, the nutrition prioritization for body composition goals.

You know…the ol lose bodyfat or build muscle thing. Because this is one many do NOT get right.

However I have developed this analogy to also be used for other goals too.

It all starts with the key fundamentals - the crust.

We all know how a bad crust can ruin a pizza experience, right? hahah

So sit back and grab a slice!

In today’s episode, I deep dive into my Nutrition Pizza framework.

When one wants to lose weight and achieve some fat loss results…

The automatic response is some form of food and calorie restriction.

Makes sense…calorie deficit is key, right.

However, there is a difference between good and bad restriction strategy and that is why alot of people jumping on the bandwagon of clean eating will find themselves thinking they are using a tool but creating a weapon against their efforts.

In today’s episode, I share with you a concept I coined called The Resistance Connundrum - how food restriction done poorly can actually undermine your fat loss results.

Oh, you expect your progress to be linear?
You want to improve every day in consistent fashion?

Not so fast. You may want to sit down while I tell you this through this podcast episode. 

Today I explore the reality of progress and how one’s belief or desire for linearity is often misguided and unrealistic - whether it be in performance, body composition, and everything in between.

There’s talk about meal timing. There’s talk about meal composition. There’s talk about meal size.

And there is also talk about meal frequency.

Does it really matter how many number of meals you have per day?

In this episode, I deep dive into this and share some examples and considerations around meal frequency to give you a better understanding of meal count and if it actually does matter in the grand scheme of nutrition things.

Fat burning = Fat Loss, right?

Wrong.

Well not necessarily wrong but not quite the correlation you or others may think it is.

Now while I do understand that fat burning is used a a phrase pretty interchangeably with fat loss but this is targeting the whole space of fat burning products and activities that are promoted incorrectly.

Do XYZ to increase “fat burning”.

Drink this drink for “fat burning”.

So what is the truth you need to know here?

In this episode, I use a simple analogy I created to explain how to think about fat burning vs ft loss…and why they are not as interchangeable as you may think.
