In this 7-day long study, 13 participants in total, fasted for seven consecutive days while still exercising.

As you can expect they lost fat mass.

But they lost more than three times as much lean mass as actual fat mass. This should come as no surprise to fact-based, educated personal trainers, and nutritional coaches but it is well worth pointing out how much better a high-protein, highly satiated fat loss cut is for your health, fitness, and body composition outcomes.

Exercising strict enough not to get injured is the way to train. But in that intersection of strict enough, what do people lose by doing it too strict, and isolated, and can you gain anything by allowing a bigger movement that recruits more muscles in the entire muscle chain?

What happens when you cut fat through dietary changes only ( or GLP-1 ) versus what happens when you make the same food changes together with regular weekly exercise?

That is the topic for today’s conversational podcast and our article.

TLDR: Fat loss + strength training had by far the best outcomes in this study with a lot lower levels of muscle mass loss. Which will, over time result in better health outcomes too.

In this conversational podcast Strength By Fitness covers the big fact-based pillars of vastly better strength, and health outcomes for people above 60 years-of-age.

A tasty Swedish vegan meatball dish of wonders and yum. This is a slightly different approach to the other vegan meatballs we published in our first plant-based food & recipes book.

48g Protein, 27g fiber, 99g carbs, no added sugar. Satiety range 51 to 65. 

Our tasty nuts, peppers, and pasta salad are meant to be served cold. It is made complete with summer fresh tomatoes and roasted peppers, but feel free to use any of your favorite veggies because they will work just as well.

This salad delivers a whopping 227 grams of protein and almost 200 grams of fiber!!. Exclusive member & client recipe.

The real issue with animal-based high-protein food choices is not about your individual health, nor is nutritional deficits. Assuming that you are in fact eating a healthy, nutritionally complete high-protein, high-satiety diet.

The issue is the planetary impact and indirect harm to all human beings.

At Strength By Fitness, we do not just coach nutrition, fitness, fat loss, performance, endurance, health, and strength, and all those things. We work with fostering healthier habits, too, and sleep, recovery, and stress management are part of that.

So here are a few basic pillars that will let you improve your sleep quality and sleep cycle, and the many health metrics that, in turn, will improve.

As evolved, educated, teachable, and acutely intelligent as the human species are, we are also, just as primal as every other animal species that still roam this planet.

The primal driver of pack mentality is why omnivores are seen as more socially acceptable than plant-based people.
