When your goal is to get leaner, protecting your muscle is just as important as burning fat.
Because muscle isn’t just about strength—
it’s your metabolism, your stability, your longevity. 💪
Here’s how to maintain muscle while trimming down:
⇾ Lift Weights Regularly
Strength training signals your body to keep muscle, even in a calorie deficit.
⇾ Eat Enough Protein
Aim for a MINIMUM of 1 gram per pound of ideal body weight daily.
⇾ Avoid Extreme Dieting
Crash diets cause quick loss—but much of it comes from muscle. Slow and steady wins here.
⇾ Prioritize Sleep & Recovery
Muscle repair happens while you rest. Poor sleep = poor progress.
⇾ Stay Active Beyond the Gym
Walking, stretching, and light daily movement all help maintain lean mass and metabolic health.
Your scale can’t tell you this—but a DEXA scan can.
It shows exactly what’s happening inside your body so you can train smarter, not harder.
