The million dollar question: can you gain muscle at the same time while losing body fat? In this video men’s style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, and Pete & Pedro says a proper diet can do both!
You can break down the muscle tissue with working out, lose body fat with cardio, give your body rest, and have your diet ‘right’ (proper protien and calories). Muscle is protien which is made amino acids. Consume the protien, the body synthesizes it, and it’s shuttled to the muscles that need to be repaired after working out.
Simultaneously Build Muscle and Lose Fat
1. Eggs – affordable & accessible, easy, power packed snack
2. Chicken – the chicken breast is the best option because it’s the leanest
3. Salmon – Alpha’s choice of fish due to the ”good’ fat content (Omega 3)
4. Greek Yogurt & cottage cheese – amazing protien (both slow and fast digesting)
5. Protein powder – Alpha recommends whey protien once a day if working out.
** Signature Series Whey is Alpha’s choice due to the amino acid profile.
** Signature Series Casein is also available – it’s slower digesting and perfect for taking before sleeping.
** If you’re a hard gainer, the Signature Series Weight Gainer doesn’t have a crazy amount of sugar at 810 calories per serving.
6. Lean beef – in terms of protein, calories, and muscle building, it’s amazing.
7. Bison – if you like red meat, you have to try it because it’s been touted as better than beef.
8. Pork – tenderloins or chops are super lean, tender, & delicious
9. Ground turkey – it’s lean & power-packed with protien, but it’s bland & dry
10. Tuna fish – Alpha can’t stand the canned stuff, but if you can do it, it’s amazing!
