Hey guys, If your goal is to lose weight and get leaner, I’ve got three key tips to get you moving in the right direction. Let’s dive in!" First up: creating a calorie deficit. This means eating slightly fewer calories than your body needs to maintain its current weight, so it begins using stored fat for energy. Aiming for a small deficit of around 10-20% of your daily calories keeps it sustainable without leaving you feeling deprived." Next, prioritize protein and fiber in every meal. High-protein foods like chicken, fish, eggs, and beans help you stay full and preserve muscle while you lose weight. Fiber-rich foods—think veggies, fruits, and whole grains—keep you satisfied and help control hunger throughout the day." Finally, stay active! Moving every day boosts your calorie burn and keeps your metabolism high. Whether it’s walking, lifting, or even a quick workout at home, find activities you enjoy and can stick with. In Skinny to Jacked, we focus on consistency, so remember that small steps add up!" Stick with these three steps: a calorie deficit, protein and fiber-rich foods, and daily activity.

If you’re pushing hard in the gym but not seeing the muscle gains you want, it might be time to look at Progressive Overload—one of the most effective methods for building strength and muscle consistently. What is Progressive Overload? In short, progressive overload is all about gradually increasing the demand on your muscles. Whether that’s lifting heavier weights, adding more reps, or tightening up your form, you’re constantly challenging your body to grow stronger and adapt. How to Apply It: - Add Weight: Aim to increase the weight on your lifts whenever you’re able. - Increase Reps or Sets: Push yourself by adding reps or an extra set. - Master Technique: Perfecting your form can make the same weight feel harder, giving your muscles a new challenge. Why It Matters: If you’re lifting the same weights each week, your body has no reason to change. Progressive overload ensures that you’re always moving toward growth and strength. Have you tried progressive overload in your routine? What’s one way you plan to challenge yourself this week? Drop a comment below! 💪
