My Strategy to <9% Body Fat

As I navigate from 12% to under 10% body fat, the key to preserving muscle strength, energy, and size lies in getting the right calorie deficit. Unlike the initial phase of my journey, where I was cutting about 1000 calories per day (easy when you're over 20% body fat), the approach now is much more nuanced.

Why? Because the lower your body fat percentage, the more your body clings to fat reserves. A large deficit now could mean losing precious muscle, making me weaker and smaller. So, the plan? A small, strategic calorie deficit of about 300-400 calories that cuts the fat while preserving my gains.

But here's the best part: by indulging in delicious, whole-food-based meals, I'm not just enduring this deficit; I'm enjoying it. This sustainable approach means I can stay on track without cravings taking me away from my progress.

Stay tuned for more tactics on my workouts, meals, and the mindset to make this effortless. Upcoming videos will dive deeper, sharing all you need to know about sculpting your physique while enjoying the ride.
