How I Lost 45 Pounds and Gained Muscle

The creator shares his experience of gaining weight and his journey to lose 45 pounds and gain muscle.

Focus on what and how much you eat. Prioritize high-fiber carbs around workouts. Sample meals include oatmeal with protein powder for breakfast, rice with stir-fried lean meat and veggies for lunch, and a post-workout shake with bagels or rice crackers.

Eat sweet potatoes, take psyllium husk, drink herbal tea (chamomile), and have Greek yogurt with almond butter and protein powder for dessert.

Eliminate snacks, avoid liquid calories (alcohol, soda, high-calorie dressings), and increase non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) like walking or doing housework.

Follow a bro split 5 days a week, train to failure, and aim for progressive overload to preserve muscle mass.

Prioritize sleep for muscle recovery and growth, as muscle repair happens during sleep.
