How to Build Muscle AND Lose Fat, with Tony Boutagy
In this Mini Motivation episode, host Amelia Phillips is joined by exercise physiologist and strength coach Tony Boutagy to answer a question many women grapple with: can you build muscle and lose body fat at the same time? Tony breaks down how much protein women really need, the best protein sources and powders, nutrient timing, and how to strike the balance between eating enough to support muscle growth while still maintaining a sensible calorie deficit. Plus, they discuss what changes if you’re taking a GLP-1 and how to protect precious muscle while losing weight.
