and six-pack abs would appear. this isn’t how it works.
there’s a lizard inside of you, dictating the development of your body composition based on the clash between real-world experiences and historically hardwired hopes, dreams, and fears.
the lizard doesn’t think the same way you do. to you, big muscles and a low body fat. to the lizard, not so much.
effecive need to account for and pander.
this where supply and stim come into picture.
supply is feed, aka, eating.
stim is what do, aka exercise.
both of these are weapons, only tools we have, to change signaling which how lizard…
losing fat and building muscle are algorithmic. they can be distilled into a set of step-by-step instructions, much like a recipe in a cookbook.
you don’t need to know why the recipes yield the results in order to follow them. if you can shut off your brain and follow orders like _______, you will win.
this is easier said than done.
if you have a nerd brain, the odds of you following a recipe without a rationale are low. want to know why? of course you do. you have a nerd brain. my point is proven.
this guide, Body Comp Basics, unpacks the first principles of fat loss and muscle growth.
to change your body composition you need to understand supply, stimulation, and signaling.
- supply: what you feed your body
- stimulation: what you do with your body
- signaling: what the lizard inside of you commands
of the three, signaling is the most important. you can’t consciously trigger fat loss or muscle growth. if you could, you’d be able to say, “Go Go Gadget Gains!” and six-pack abs would appear. this isn’t how it works.
the lizard inside of you determines what will be done in any given circumstance. you can do everything within your power to build muscle and lose fat, but if the lizard doesn’t comply, you’ll stay skinny and sloppy. Unfortunately, you can’t directly change signaling (unless you take steroids or similar drugs). You can only nudge signaling, indirectly, with stimulation and supply.
your body comp is a byproduct of the muscle mass and body fat you have atop your skeleton. to change your body composition you have to adjust the amount of muscle mass and/or body fat you have.
You can’t consciously trigger fat loss or muscle growth. If you could, you wouldn’t need to go to the gym. You’d be able to say, “Go Go Gadget Gains!” and six-pack abs would appear. This isn’t how it works.
there’s a lizard inside of you in charge. what the lizard commands is signaling. this lizard has hopes dreams and fears much diff. and effective needs to consider and pander and influence.

losing fat and building byproduct of changing
signaling is
- Supply: what you feed your body
- Stimulation: what you do with your body
- Signaling: what the lizard inside of you commands
Of the three, signaling is most important.
The lizard inside of you determines what will be done in any given circumstance. You can do everything within your power to build muscle and lose fat, but if the lizard doesn’t comply, you’ll stay skinny and sloppy. Unfortunately, you can’t directly change signaling (unless you take steroids or similar drugs). You can only nudge signaling, indirectly, with stimulation and supply.
Stimulating and supplying for fat loss is almost identical to stimulating and supplying for muscle growth. There’s only one tiny difference.
Fat loss: supply less energyMuscle growth: supply more energy
And so, with this in mind, I suppose uncovering the energetic aspect of our existence isn’t a bad place to start.
whether you realize it or not (you don’t), everything you do requires energy. not just movement visible to the naked eye. everything. your heart needs energy to beat. your brain needs energy to think. your liver needs energy to squirt bile into your intestines to help you digest the chocolate-covered piece of bacon that didn’t taste good but you pretended to enjoy because it was $7.
many people think their bodies are only using energy when they’re doing deliberate exercise. this is homerun wrong. most of your body’s energy demands stem from non-deliberate physiological processes: stuff your body would do even if you were in a coma. going for a 30-minute jog is cute, but your diaphragm (a muscle above your belly) is expanding and contracting every second of every day to help you breathe.
you’re always “exercising.”
if you’re sedentary you’re like an idling car: you’re churning through fuel even though you aren’t moving. deliberate exercise increases the amount of energy your body would otherwise use idling but not by much (certainly not as much as treadmills and WHOOP watches suggest).
the amount of energy your body needs on any given day for bare-minimum essential physiological functions is known as basal metabolic rate (BMR).
in other words, BMR represents the amount of energy you’d need if you were comatose. you’re not comatose (i hope). the amount of energy your body uses on any given day is higher than your BMR. even if you’re sleeping-pill sedentary, you’re still somewhat active. i mean, you bend over to tie your shoes, don’t you?
you can estimate how much energy your non-comatose somewhat active self actually uses on any given day, something known as total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), with this equation:
BODY’S WEIGHT (IN POUNDS) x 13-15 =
AVERAGE TDEE (IN CALORIES)
and so, if you weigh 180 pounds, you can assume your body uses an amount of energy equivalent to 2340-2700 calories every day. this is an estimate. individual metabolic rates can vary for reasons beyond weight. this is also an average. even though your TDEE hovers around a certain value, it’s not like your body uses the same exact amount of energy every single day.
by the way, calories are not “fattening” or “sugar” or negative in any way.
calories are simply a unit of measurement for heat energy, much like degrees are a unit of measurement for temperature. there are no good or bad calories, just as there are no good or bad degrees (although i’m sure many liberal arts majors would disagree).
if you’re not American, you might measure a food’s energetic properties in joules. unfortunately, i’m American and i assume the world revolves around me, so i’m going to ignore joules and hit you with this useless information instead:
the “calories” you’re (probably) familiar with are big-c Calories. big-c Calories are “kilocalories,” which equals 1000 small-c calories. this distinction is rarely made. when chatting about calories, it’s safe to assume everyone is talking about Calories, which is to say “kilocalories,” even if the c is lowercase.
your trivia team can thank me later.
there are fancy TDEE calculators that take into consideration your body fat percentage, your activity levels, and how often you sneeze.
although many things do influence your TDEE, accounting for every conceivable variable often backfires thanks to invalidity and inaccuracy. for instance, those cheap at-home step-on scales that measure your body-fat percentage (by way of sending an electrical current through your body) are super sensitive to non-fat factors such as hydration. in other words, if you drink a glass of water before you step on the scale it will say you’re fatter than you really are.
there’s also our own bias to consider. when you’re asked to estimate how active you are, you’re probably going to protect your ego: TRUST ME BRO, I EXERCISE “VIGOROUSLY” AND NOT “MODERATELY.”
after accounting for all of the errors within the extra variables of consideration, you’ll end up with a downside-up estimate of your TDEE.
no bueno.
the only way to get an accurate estimate of your TDEE is to convince a scientific establishment to lock you inside a vacuum-sealed room capable of measuring the amount of heat that radiates from your body. you don’t have access to one of these rooms, so just assume your TDEE is somewhere in the neighborhood of BWx13-15 and use common sense. if you’re an eighteen-year-old high-school three-sport athlete, you’re probably closer to BWx15. on the other hand, if you’re a seventy-year-old retired writer without a physical past, then you’re probably closer to BWx13.
your body gets the energy it needs by doing what every thirteen-year-old boy dreams of doing: lighting things on fire.
there are a finite amount of red firecrackers floating inside of you. when your body needs energy (which is always), it ignites a firecracker and, upon explosion, energy is released and used in spectacular fashion to fuel every microscopic move you make (of which farting is included).
once an internal firecracker explodes and releases energy, it’s useless. a roll of Wolf Pack firecrackers can’t explode twice. once they go, they go. this is of great concern considering your body has limited quantities of them and you need energy available every split second of every split second.
fortunately, by the power of the gods (both old and new), your body is able to repair its internal firecrackers with the food you eat. your intestines strangle every last crumb you consume into microscopic miso and use some of the resultant biochemical soup to repair its firecrackers so they can explode once again.
with a little detective work, you can estimate how much energetic material you consume on any given day.
long ago, some scientific pyromaniacs discovered three different compounds in foods, each of which gave off a standardized amount of heat when burned. this amount of heat was (and still is) assumed to equal the amount of energetic material contained within the substance (even though it’s not).
these three compounds are known as macronutrients and they are fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. their standardized heat yield upon incineration:
fats: 9 calories per gram
proteins: 4 calories per gram
carbohydrates: 4 calories per gram
this is one of many discoveries that gave rise to nutrition facts labels, which can be found on most packaged foods. nutrition fact labels tell you how many calories are in one serving of the food in question (among other things) based on how many grams of each macronutrient it contains. this is assumed to equal the amount of energetic material your body has available after digestion and absorption (even though it’s not). and so, if you track how many servings of food you eat, you can estimate how much energetic material you’re tossing into your intestines.
if there’s no nutrition facts label on the package, you can usually find a food’s nutrition facts on the internet. the salmon i bought yesterday is wrapped in white butcher paper. says there are 0.8 pounds of salmon inside, but there are no nutrition facts. after alley-ooping “salmon nutrition facts” into Google, i see three ounces of salmon contains roughly 177 calories. there are 12.8 ounces in 0.8 pounds, so the hunk of salmon i have contains roughly 700 calories.
easy.
even though your body needs free energy available every second of every day, you don’t need to eat at the same pace.
occasionally, my pessimistic brain pokes into my thoughts (like Jack Nicholson’s “Here’s Johnny!” scene in The Shining) and reminds me that, at any moment, Earth can murder us. if oxygen vanished from the atmosphere for seven consecutive minutes tomorrow, most humans would die.
fortunately, we can survive longer than seven minutes without eating food despite needing free energy available 24/7 because we have the ability to store energetic material. similar to how a car has the ability to store fuel: cars don’t have to be connected to an electrical outlet in order to function (like vacuum cleaners). cars store energetic material inside their shells, to be used when needed.
you’re similar.
your body stores energetic material in a few different places with three notables being: liver, muscle, and adipose cells.
liver and muscle store glucose (sugar) in the form of glycogen. glucose comes primarily from the breakdown of carbohydrates, but your body can also transform proteins into glucose when necessary.
adipose cells (adipocytes) store fat in the form of triglycerides. triglycerides are derived from fats, but your body can (and will) transform carbs into triglycerides when the storage facilities for glucose are full. this is common. the liver and the muscles aren’t super spacious compared to adipose cells; adipose cells are the king of storing excess energetic material. there are tons of them and they can stretch and expand like a balloon to hold gross amounts of energetic material.
finding a home for every last drop of energetic material was a useful quirk to have long ago when food (apparently?) wasn’t hyper-available; a large pool of energy reserves widens the gap between “i can’t find food” and “i’m dead.”
at any given moment, you have energetic material floating inside of you that’s more available, sort of like keeping cash in your pocket to pay for things. when you’re running low on readily available energy, your body breaks down its reserves, sort of like pulling money from a bank account to replenish on-hand stores.
in general, you have enough energetic material inside of you to survive without food for at least three weeks. (so much for being “hangry,” Steve, shut up and get back to work.)
the ebb and flow of energy often described by ebal equation. says
supply, demand…
demand, supply…
this is useful info if u want to lose fat b/c, as may know or have guess, energy in adipose cells is body fat.
jiggly squishy things gives us crevices
have distaste for body fat but actually quite useful.
if u dind’t connext, body fat is synonymous w/ adipose cells. jiggly shit around waist and arms, pent up energetic material. micrcopic ballons jiggling around. ACCUMULATING ACROSS UR ENTIRE LIFETIME!!
full of wonderful energy, prize posession, waiting to be used.
TO LOSE, QUITE SIMPLE…
BODY HAS TO USE FOR ENERGY AND DON’T FILL BACK UP.
USING FAT ISN’T DIFFICULT. ALL U HAVE TO DO IS EXIST.
MANY ppl overlook this and lean into exercise, cardio in particular. cardio aka aerobic weapon of choice b/c smart ppl know fat used for fuel. seems obvious, but kind of shortsifhted.
for starters, many ppl that do this don’t account for other half, which not filling back up. aka, run then eat donuts shit, and
sadly, ex not powerful enuf to guarantee. eating allways has upper hand. like bagel at panera 3000, take hour of carido.
only way to guarantee is to cap supply… and if you cap supply, don’t have to do cardio b/c existing uses fat. suppose cardio could (a) allow u to eat more or (b) help lose quicker, but…
(remember, energy can be transformed, so cap supply of all energetic material, really, to ensure…)
in an indirect way, this makes it seem as if the energetic component of food is the only thing that matters; it doesn’t matter what you eat, the only thing that matters is how much energetic material you mash into your maw. there’s a finger of truth to this. a nutrition professor named Mark Haub ate mostly junk food (like Doritos and Hostess cakes) for ten weeks and he lost 27 pounds. perhaps an even wilder story is that of Anthony Howard-Crow: he consumed nothing but ice cream, alcohol, and protein shakes for 100 days, and he lost 32 pounds.
energy balance may be the coup de grâce for fat loss, but there’s a catch: only living organisms can lose fat.
and in order to be a living organism, your body` also needs to extract nutrients from food; we need nutrients just as much as we need energy. even pants-pooping preschoolers know the pirates died of scurvy before they starved to death.
the three macronutrients are, indeed, nutrients, but this rabbit hole runs round and round. food also contains micronutrients like vitamins and minerals as well as phytochemicals, bacteria, and miscellaneous microscopic matter science hasn’t yet discovered. our bodies need these things to feel good and function well.
what we eat is important for our survival and general well-being because different foods contain different nutrients. and if what we eat is important for survival and general well-being, then what we eat is also important for fat loss independent of energetic material.
in a similar yet opposite direction, another consideration of supply is avoiding harmful “foods” (if you want to call them that). for example, synthetic trans fats were added to countless food products in the 1990s and early 2000s. research has since found trans fats to be so destructive inside of us, they’ve been “banned” (even though trace amounts are still permissible, which makes total sense).
and so, for fat loss, what you eat may not matter as much as how much energetic material you eat, but, in the long run, what you eat matters a great deal because nutrients (other aspects of food) affect your health and well-being.
the need for nutrients one main reasons slow and steady approach likely better.
(SAID THAT “CONTAINS” 3500…)
fat loss at odds. decrease energy, auto decrease nutrients. less u eat, less feed. can combat by eating nourishing foods, but point where need to eat enuf to nourish.
if sink too much, will be bad… and also likely kickstart a bunch of negative metabolic adaptations.
OF WHICH MUSCLE LOSS INCLUDED.
unlike body fat, muscle tissue’s primary function not energetic. in certain situations
it can be broken down and used for energy-recycling purposes, but this isn’t its primary function. muscle tissue helps you run, jump, scratch, and kick. without it, you’d be soup. you wouldn’t be able to hunt, scavenge, or defend yourself. these are important skills. from an evolutionary lens, you wouldn’t have a long life expectancy without them.
to understand why your body would “sacrifice” muscle tissue (for energetic purposes) and become a weaker (less able-bodied) organism, an analogy helps:
your body handles energy similar to how a smart accountant (not the one employed by MC Hammer) handles money.
- energy = money
- supply = income
- demand = expenses
- body fat = savings
- reserves = other stashes of money and anything you own that can be transformed into money
when expenses are larger than income, you need to find money to pay your bills (or else the mafia will murder you and your entire family). one way to get money is by reaching into your savings account. you put money away in safe storage for this exact purpose: to stay afloat when income is lackluster. you can pay your bills for a little while without having to change your lifestyle; there’s no immediate panic.
pulling from savings keeps you alive, but there’s a catch: your savings are finite. and once you run out of savings, you die. your body doesn’t want to die. sucking your savings dry like a gambling addict is a short-term band-aid (in response to an energy deficit), not a viable long-term solution.
what would you do if your expenses consistently eclipsed your income? if you were regularly pulling from your savings?
you’d probably lower your expenses to match your abysmal fixed income: sell your possessions and change your lifestyle, cancel the premium cable package, set the thermostat at a higher temperature during the summer, cancel the Brazzars subscription (where’d that come from?).
your body does the same thing during an extended energy deficit. shrinking the gap between supply and demand keeps you alive longer. FIND WAYS TO …
your body doesn’t know the difference between getting six-pack shredded and struggling to find food.
your body doesn’t know you won’t let yourself starve to death. so when an energy deficit is chronic, your body has no reason to assume the energy crisis will resolve in the near future. and so, to stave off starvation, your body uses alternative methods to settle (or try to settle) its debts.
using muscle tissue for fuel instead of body fat as previously explained is just the beginning.
a. your body can find ways to use less energy both at rest and during exercise, which will decrease your energy needs. a chunk of your energy demand is a byproduct of non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), which is the energy you use throughout the day when moving and fidgeting: bobbing your head to music, picking your nose, walking to the beer fridge, flipping pancakes in the kitchen. during a chronic energy deficit, non-exercise “spontaneous” activity levels may decline, which will decrease your energy demand.
b. your body may make you hungrier, which will increase your cravings. you’ll be sitting at your desk at work and your stomach will rumble early and often. you’ll only be able to think about food. delicious food. you’ll search for the best barbeque joints in your area. you’ll drool. you’ll want to place an order. you won’t. you’ll eat the lunch you packed. you’ll be disappointed. you wanted barbeque. you wanted cornbread. you’ll get depressed. you’ll quit your fat-loss diet soon after.
c. your body may blunt satiety signaling, making you feel less full and satisfied after meals. you’ll eat dinner. you’ll be hungry afterward. you’ll want to snack and eat something you shouldn’t. you’ll resist at first. you’ll crumble eventually.
d. ur body can
chop down muscle tissue and use it for energy-recycling purposes. this does two things:
first, it spares body fat stores. you’ll pull money from two accounts instead of one, which will prolong the length of time it’ll take for either to run out. in other words, you’ll live longer.
second, it makes you more energy efficient. muscle makes you a bigger creature. bigger creatures require more energy. with less muscle, your daily energy demand (cost of living) will decrease and you won’t burn through energy reserves as quickly as you otherwise would.
the upsides of sacrificing muscle tissue outweigh the downsides; it’s the smart thing to do to survive the energy crisis… sometimes.
when your body uses muscle tissue for energy-recycling purposes, it’s a calculated decision based on perceived need. on one hand, without as much muscle, you won’t be able to move as well (or as comfortably) as you once did. on the other hand, without as much muscle, you’ll be more energy-efficient and better able to survive in a world with less energy.
this decision isn’t made in a vacuum; your body doesn’t pull an answer from a hat. if your body thinks muscle tissue is important and necessary for survival, it won’t be as quick to get rid of it.
SEGUE? and so, have to influece perception which can be done w/ superg.
no matter how scrawny you are, your body probably has some semblance of muscle mass. if you break your wrist tomorrow, a doc will put your arm in plaster. two months later, when the doc cuts your cast off, your arm will be less muscular.
your body doesn’t like wasting resources. if you don’t use your arm muscles, your body assumes they aren’t needed. no reason to waste resources keeping them around. why pay $12 every month for a Netflix subscription you never use? (i ask myself this every month. good thing my body isn’t as dumb as i am.)
assuming you’re sedentary, you built the muscle you have without trying thanks to gravity. gravity is easy to ignore. like water to a fish according to what Princess Ruto told me inside of Jabu-Jabu’s belly. to avoid further ignorance, let’s give gravity a face. one that doesn’t spit three-dimensional floor tiles at us. (i’m looking at you, Andross.)
you go in a zero gravity chamber. you’re weightless, suspended in spacetime. people wearing white lab coats enter the chamber. they puncture holes in every one of your bones. they thread ropes through each hole, and then they attach the ropes to the floor. they give each rope a specific downward pull that corresponds with its connecting bone’s mass: less mass, less aggressive pull; more mass, more aggressive pull. (in case you flunked physics, “weight” is mass multiplied by Earth’s gravity.)
this staples you to the ground; you’re no longer floating. you’re like a marionette doll, only with the strings going in the opposite direction. in order to move, you have to overcome the resistance of the rope(s) tying each particular body part to the floor. this requires muscle tissue.
you’re lifting “weights” every time you move because certain parts of your body have to maneuver other parts of your body through Earth’s gravity.
for example, when you raise your hand in the air, your shoulder girdle has to lift the weight of your upper arm, forearm, hand, and fingers. or when you do a bodyweight squat, your legs have to lift the weight of your torso, head, upper arm, forearm, hands, and fingers.
you’ve been lifting “weights” ever since you were born. this is how you built muscle without trying. talk about an ouroboros: by regularly governing the weight of your anatomy, your body assumes governing the weight of its anatomy is important for survival, and thus your body gives you what you need (muscles) to govern the weight of your anatomy.
if you stopped governing the weight of your anatomy tomorrow, your body would get rid of its muscle tissue. astronauts spend six months in a zero-gravity world and their bodies melt like fondue.
governing the weight of your anatomy signals the need for some muscle, not infinite muscle because there are bottlenecks in both directions. Earth’s gravity doesn’t change, and neither does the mass of your body parts (to a significant degree once you reach adulthood). and so, your body builds enough muscle to comfortably move the weight of its anatomy in ways it believes are essential CONGRUENT W/ RESOURCES.
this is why you don’t look like the Hulk: gargantuan muscles would be a waste of energy… unless your body regularly overcomes an ever-increasing amount of mass.
MUSCLE STOPS B/C BODY BELIEVES ENUF, BUT CAN INFLUENCE. JUST AS ASTRO GO ZERO G AND LOSE, CAN ENTER HIGHER G AND BUILD.
unfortunately, there are no Popo-piloted hyperbolic time chambers. you can’t enter a supergravity world. you have to create supergravity scenarios by manipulating your muscles’ mass-lifting responsibilities. there are two ways to do this.
first, make your muscles maneuver more anatomy than they’re currently accustomed to. your (sedentary) shoulder girdle is primarily responsible for lifting the weight of your arm, thanks to you regularly waving your arm through the air for various tasks. want to maneuver more anatomy? do push-ups and force your shoulder girdle to lift more weight (the weight of your torso).
second, add external mass to a movement. your (sedentary) shoulder girdle is primarily responsible for lifting the weight of your arm, thanks to you regularly waving your arm through the air for various tasks. want to maneuver more anatomy? hold a dumbbell and force your shoulder girdle to lift more weight (the weight of the dumbbell).
this is an oversimplified example of what supergravity scenarios entail, but it will suffice for now…
a certain flavor of supergravity stimulation sends a specific signal to the body: “we need more muscle tissue.”
WHETHER BODY LISTENS OR NOT, WELL, DEPEND A GREAT DEAL ON SUPPLY.
FOR STARTERS, MUSCLE GROWTH AS PROCESS REQUIRES ENERGY. ALSO, MAKES YOU BIGGER CREATURE AND INCREASES EXPENSES.
as mentioned in Part 2, muscle has a metabolic burden. larger muscles make you a bigger creature and bigger creatures require more energy. because of this, your body doesn’t build muscle without considering the cost; in order for your body to feel comfortable building muscle, it needs to know it will be able to support the higher cost of living associated with bigger muscles.
in some sense, building bigger muscles is like upgrading from a Corolla to a Hummer. Hummers are more expensive. they’re less fuel efficient. you won’t upgrade to the Hummer unless you think you’ll have enough long-term funds to support the transaction. otherwise, you’ll have to resell it on the secondary market at a loss. no one wants to do that.
pandering to the metabolic burden of muscle growth, most people say you need to consume a surplus of energetic material in order to foster a sense of financial comfort.
this has a downside: this is also a recipe for body fat accumulation. and so, gaining fat is usually a side effect of trying to build muscle.
usually.
there are ways to minimize fat accumulation when trying to build muscle, with the most obvious being: don’t over overeat.
although energetic stability helps with muscle growth, there’s a point of diminishing returns. at some point, more money won’t make you more comfortable purchasing something expensive. likewise, twice as many calories won’t yield twice as much muscle. it’ll just make you fat.
you need enough to reassure your body that building muscle won’t be a wasted expense, yet not enough to grow so large you become a float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
ANOTHER IMP FACTOR IS PLENTY OF PROTEINS.
FAT LOSS ENERGY IS EVERYTHING, FOR MUSCLE GROWTH, NOT SO MUCH… FILLING BALOON, REAL MUSCLE GROWTH BYPRODUCT OF SKIN. REQUIRES MATERIALS.
assuming you’re nourishing your body, the most important nutrient for body composition is protein.
proteins are important because they contain nitrogen, and nitrogen is necessary for muscle growth; trying to build muscle without proteins is like trying to build a house without wood.
Old-school bodybuilders and strength enthusiasts recommended eating one gram of protein for every pound you weigh. in other words, if you weigh 205 pounds, then you should eat 205 grams of protein. recent research says you probably only need 0.7-0.8 grams of protein for every pound you weigh.
science can suck it. using a one-gram-per-pound standard makes the calculation easier. besides, i don’t care about eating a pinch more protein to ensure i’m giving my body the nutrients it needs, especially considering there’s no downside (proteins won’t damage your kidneys unless you have a pre-existing medical condition).
EATING PLENTY OF PROS WILL CREATE MOST FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT, ENCOURAGE AND NUDGE THE LIZARD.
AND ASIDE FROM ENERGY, THIS IS ALSO THE BEST WAY TO PREVENT THE BODY FROM USING MUSCLE TISSUE WHEN DEFICIT FOR FAT LOSS.
AND SO, WHEN YOU ZOOM OUT AND TAKE ALL OF THIS INTO CONSIDERATION, THE RECIPES FOR FAT LOSS AND MUSCLE GROWTH ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL .
SUPERGRAVITY STIM IS CONSTANT. FOR MUSCLE GROWTH, NECESSARY. WON’T CONVINCE LIZARD TO DO OTHERWISE. FOR FAT LOSS,NOT NECESSARY, BUT REALLY USEFUL IF YOU WANT TO RETAIN MUSCLE.
(AND JUST TO FLOAT IDEA, POSSIBLE TO BUILD. BODY CAN USE FAT, BUT NOT REALLY PREDICABLE…. AND CERTAINLY BETTER IF PROS,
EATING PLENTY OF PROTEINS TO SUPPORT
NOURHSING W/ QUALITY FOODS AND AVOIDING BAD.
ONLY DIFF LIES IN ENERGY.
FOR FAT LOSS, SUPPLY ENERGETIC MATERIAL LESS, BUT NOT TOO MUCH. AVOID DAMAGE.
FOR MUSCLE, SUPPLY ENERGETIC MORE, BUT NOT TOO MUCH. AVOID FAT.
MIGHT WONDER WHAT LOOKS LIKE, EXACTLY?
and general is to pick objective and pursue.
fat loss, small daily deficit, plenty of prteins, supergravity. might wonder about negative adaptations..
