The “How to lose fat without losing muscle” question is one we hear a lot. Kyle explains how it is done in this short video.

We’re going to reveal three advanced techniques to you that are going to have you on your way to building lean muscle without fat by this time next week.
We’re going to stay within the most important topic of all when it comes to physique development. This topic of course is nutrition. Now you’ve probably heard a million times that nutrition is by far the biggest factor in how you look. You’ve probably heard sayings like “abs are made in the kitchen” and “you can’t out-train a bad diet.” The reason why you’ve heard these sayings is because they’re true. If you ask any fitness model or body builder what the most important factor is in how you look, that’s exactly what you’ll be told.

Now, we’re experts on nutrition and we can continue on about nutrition until this article turns into a novel. But what we want to do right now is cover the main topic that we feel will benefit you the most with the information we can give you. This topic is called systematic nutrabolism.

Nutrabolism = How to Lose Fat Without Losing Muscle

This just means optimizing our nutrition to maximize muscle without fat. Now when we’re trying to build muscle without fat you’ve undoubtedly heard about protein, protein, protein. Yes, we understand that protein is important. Protein is the building block of muscle. Protein is important to keep high regardless of whether or not you’re trying to build muscle or lose fat. Getting your ideal protein intake down, or even your fat intake, for that matter, is not challenging. You’re going to be able to accomplish that fairly easily. What is a little bit of a different story, though, is your carbohydrate intake.

Keeping that in mind, let’s dive into three techniques of systematic Nutrabolism

1) Carbohydrate Capitalization. This technique is used with a lot of success by many people. Basically, this technique involves structuring the majority of your daily carbohydrates around your workouts. Pre and post workout. If you’re looking for a rule of thumb, you can go 70-30. That means 70% of your daily carbohydrates should be consumed throughout your pre and your post workout window. The other 30% preferably would come first thing in the morning.

2) Somatofy your nutrition. This just means adjusting your nutrition to your somatotype. Body type is another word for somatotype and you might have heard of the three basic body types by now. These are ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. All of the different body types that you haven’t heard of play a difference. You see within that range of ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph, in between there are many different variations of body types that a lot of people have not talked about yet. Only some of the higher, world-renowned nutriotionists and sports nutritionists are identifying the way these different body types react to different nutrients, especially carbohydrates. Carbohydrates tend to affect the different body types in a more drastic manner than other macronutrients. So keeping that in mind, we’d like to give you a few tips that might help you maximize lean muscle gains without fat even though we don’t know you or your body type.
If you’re on the ectomorphic side, meaning that you have a very difficult time putting on weight, putting on muscle and you’re naturally very very skinny – small bones, small wrists, you’re going to benefit from really manipulating high-glycemic carbohydrates especially around your workout windows. You can afford higher glycemic carbohydrates and a higher content of your carbohydrates throughout your day. That’s the one macronutrient that you’d want to look to manipulate if you’re not moving towards your physique development goals. If week after week goes by and you’re not gaining like you should, that’s the one macronutrient you’d want to ramp up as aggressively as you can in your diet plan, until you start noticing that you’re putting on fat.

That being said, if you’re conversely on the endomorphic side and you put on fat easily, you’re on a different boat. You’re very sensitive to carbohydrate intake. You need to be very careful about your utilization of carbohydrates and you should specifically stick to complex carbohydrates surrounding your workout. Other than that, you don’t really want to dive into high glycemic carbohydrates, and other carbohydrates at other times of the day.
Now you may be in a good position to understand that there are different body types out there that respond differently to certain nutrition plans and finding the right nutrition plan for your body type is probably something that you should invest some time towards by measuring your results from your current nutrition plan if you’re not moving towards your physique development goals quickly.

3) Adjust your nutrition to your weight training regimen. This is one mistake that’s easily avoided that we see a lot of guys making, and it’s actually hurting them more than they understand. You see you can have the very best generic meal plan from a book, magazine or online report that says you’re supposed to have this meal 1, this meal 2, this meal 3, etc. As you know, it’s not customized for you for your body type and it’s also not customized for your weight training regimen. You need to understand, adapt, and adjust your nutrition to your weight training regimen. A lot of guys will work out at night but then not have that post-workout carb meal and protein intake like they should because they feel it’s late at night and they don’t want to put on fat. That’s not how it works. You need to go ahead and have a proper pre and post workout nutrition meal set up for you no matter what time you’re working out. That’s the main message we wanted to discuss with you about adjusting your nutrition to your weight training regimen.

We believe these three tips would help you, we know they helped us. We really hope they help you in the same way they helped us too. With all of that being said, the last piece of advice that we want to leave you with is this: go ahead and measure your results no matter what plan you’re on. No matter what training and nutrition plan you’re on, everybody is different. This is why some of the best pro body builders and fitness models hire professional nutrition and training coaches to adapt the programs to them. You can’t just blindly follow something if it’s not working for you. Your job is to measure your results and adjust accordingly. The nutrition tips that we’ve given you today will help you go into your nutrition plan and adjust things to see if that makes a difference if you’re not already experiencing the results that you want. The idea is to make sure you measure your results. After a few weeks, if it’s not working, change! We’re all about evolving, changing and learning what’s best for our particular bodies, training schedules, work schedules, our life. Everything needs to be adjusted for what is best for us. You can’t blindly follow something and just hope that one day it’s going to start working for you.
