Losing fat while gaining muscle via body recomposition│Dr. Brad Schoenfeld

Body recomposition, or "recomp," involves improving body composition by simultaneously decreasing fat and increasing muscle mass. Dr. Schoenfeld asserts that resistance training alone is a poor strategy for losing weight and is most valuable when used as an adjunct to calorie reduction. If a person reduces their caloric intake to lose weight, as much as 30 percent of their weight loss may come from muscle – unless they engage in resistance training. In this clip, Dr. Brad Schoenfeld describes the importance of resistance training and adequate protein intake to prevent losing muscle mass during weight loss.

I was overweight. Over 9 months I had a small calorie deficit, ate a lot of protein and did lots of resistance training. I lost a lot of fat and a little bit of muscle. Then I started lean bulking, small daily surplus, lots of resistance training and lots of protein. The key for me is to also do lots of low intensity steady state cardio and I’m slowly putting on muscle without any noticeable fat. I appreciate not everyone has the time or motivation to do this but for me it’s become a way of life.

Thank you. I lost too much fat at the outset of the first month and was on top of my protein (90+ g whey isolate protein & broad spectrum collagen protein + dietary/animal protein). I realize weight/resistance training is essential and I struggle to be consistent with it. I now feel I've started to lose some muscle. I have a long way to go. Back on track and gaining tools for the perfect workout conditions.
To those on same path, You Got This, Hang Tough 🤘

I went from a 38 waist size to a 34 and my weight never changed.

[dawiser]

Made the mistake of having a big caloric deficit via intermittent fasting WITHOUT resistance training and lots protein and lost a lot of muscle alongside the fat… Now I’m busy building it back. But would’ve been good to know this info before I started fasting!

[Assassins]

finallly someone got to the point been searching for this for a while great vid

[fishingphill]

What a great series of videos. First saw you speaking with Dr Peter Attia which I really enjoyed as well. Please I found your channel & really enjoying it. Great content & thank you 👍👍👍🇦🇺

[retro]

So much good information in a short video. I'll definitely be rewatching this one (several times)

[johnm]

Body re-comp can be accomplished! 💯
Keys:
1 - proper diet
2 - daily workout routine. Each resistance training focuses on lower body, abs, and upper body, although the specific exercises are varied each day rotating every 3 days.
Workouts conclude with a 20-minute weighted jump rope routine that combines resistance and aerobic training. Different weighted ropes add varying degrees of difficulty, but produce amazing results. 💯🎯

I'm doing a recomp...I'm losing weight too slowly for my liking, but that means I'm not losing muscle mass...or at least not losing much.

[Nick-rrpv]

2.6-3.5 g of protein per KG is huge amount of food. Anyone who ever tried will tell you so. I am at 2g per KG and thats 3 protein heavy meals a day plus protein shakes 1-2 times. I am 92KG. So I need 270ish grams of protein. Ridiculous.

[jft]

2.6-3.5G of protein per kilo seems pretty high. I guess it's more than the traditional one gr/pound. He ads that you need more protein if you are in calorie deficit and do aerobic

[EzDoesntExist]

Can listen to him for hours. Such humble yet apparently highly educative personnel

[nicholasbaker]

I see research like this but can't help wonder... than how do prisoners get so jacked on garbage food and low protein totals?

[NemesisX]

Confirmed a lot of what I've been studying. Fantastic and very helpful information!

[serarthurdayne]

What I don’t understand is, if I’m 20% body fat and I eat 200g of protein but have an overall calorie deficit, can’t my body build muscle using the protein and use my body fat for energy. Thereby getting more muscular yet leaner.

[hamidaqanbari]

Unfortunately not enough educational videos on YouTube for women to gain muscle. I have perfect BMI but I have very little muscle. It's so hard for me to gain muscle, I can't eat more than 50 gr of protein per day (1g/ 1kg of weights)

[RasihBensan-cuge]

Thank you for this very useful scientific information.

[radezzientertainment]

beautiful content and lovely conversation

[gormleyjohn]

This is exactly my experience. I seem to have lost muscle mass as I've lost weight from TRF.

[harlock]

Thisbis what ive been trhing to do but not sure how. I eat high protien diet and workout 4 to 5 times a week, making progress but seems like i cant get rid of the stubborn fat
