Episode notes
Do A Primer Phase Before Dieting
- Use a primer phase as the 'diet before the diet' to improve physiology and psychology before a deficit.
- Fix metabolic bottlenecks first so fat loss is sustainable and not just a short-term transformation.
Prime Training Without Abandoning Hypertrophy
- When using a primer phase for hypertrophy, keep hypertrophy principles but reduce systemic stress and volume where needed.
- Modify rest, rep ranges, and set allocation rather than abandoning hypertrophy to maintain growth stimulus.
Limit Meal Variety To Reduce Overeating
- Avoid mixing many highly different flavors in one meal because sensory-specific satiety makes you eat more with more variety.
- Prefer single-flavor, simple meals to hit satiety sooner and prevent passive overconsumption.
