Keep the Muscle, Lose the Fat

Chris Masterjohn’s “How to Lose Fat Without Losing Muscle” emphasizes the importance of prioritizing fat loss while preserving lean mass during weight loss. He advises against excessive calorie restriction, recommending instead a focus on full-body resistance training, high-intensity intervals, and adequate protein intake to support muscle retention and overall health. Slow, consistent weight loss—up to 2 pounds per week—is optimal, with exercise playing a critical role in minimizing lean mass loss. Masterjohn’s findings align closely with CrossFit principles, underscoring the effectiveness of functional fitness and whole-food diets in achieving sustainable, healthy results.
