CrossFit Koncepts

Let's clear something up about fat loss that social media gets wrong. Success comes from balancing protein intake with the right exercise approach. Aim for 0.7-1.0 grams of protein per pound of target body weight daily – this preserves muscle while creating a calorie deficit. Pair this with resistance training at least three times weekly to maintain and build lean tissue. Is cardio important? Absolutely! But it's a supporting player, not the star of the show. Strength training should be your foundation for fat loss – both now and especially as you age.

When you build lean muscle, you're creating a metabolic engine that burns calories 24/7, even at rest. Plus, maintaining strength helps with everything from carrying groceries to preventing injuries. Remember, the scale doesn't tell the full story – body composition changes might show up in how your clothes fit before the numbers change.
