no. Your weight changes every minute/hour based on what you eat/drink, if you sweat, if you pee/poo. So don’t go off your daily weight.

if that’s the case, you need to focus on just losing fat now while maintain your current level of muscle mass. So eat in a deficit.

if you’re a beginner, it’s very easy to lose fat and build muscle at the same time (like i said in the article).

Sorry bro. Jeff has it 100% right. I’ve been following Jeffs AthleanX program and meal plan and it works perfectly as perscribed. I eat real food several times a day. Ive burned a lot of fat while packing on lean muscle. Sorry but you are just flat out wrong.

It’s vague on purpose.

There is no single formula for how fast someone is able to build muscle and lose fat at the same time.

If you’re a beginner, the process is typically more clear cut. If all proper conditions line up, you’ll be able to gain 10-20 pounds of muscle your first year. And a lot of beginners are able to do this even while being in a calorie deficit simply because the stimulus from weight lifting is so new to their body.

But someone’s who already has years of training under their belt might only be able to gain 0.5-1 pound of muscle per month. And when gaining that little lean muscle mass in a month, it becomes very hard to track what is or isn’t muscle. Combine that with trying to lose a bit of body fat as well (which requires a calorie deficit), and things become very frustrating very fast.

This is why it’s almost always universally recommended for anyone at the intermediate/advanced stages of lifting to do a lean bulk and not try to lose fat while trying to gain mass.

If you are a beginner, you will gain muscle and lose fat quite easily in the beginning.

“Very difficult” how so? twice as long? 6 months vs 2 months (triple the time)? or what? I think the problem is that you were using quite vague phrases throughout the blog post. A reader has no way of determining what you consider ‘very difficult’ or ‘not worth the time’ if you do not define it. An extra month or two might not be worth it as far as you see it but merely par for the course for someone with long-term lifestyle changing goals.

Please define “very long process” for comparison purposes. Thanks…

If you’re not a beginner, some fat gain is always inevitable when trying to gain muscle.
