Burn, Baby, Burn: Strength Training Tips for the Calorie Deficit Crew

Nuna: "Does cab cutting work by not eating less or calories deficit instead of burning more than I eat and train muscles?"

Yo Nuna! What's poppin'?

Let's get real about carb cutting and this whole calorie deficit drama! 🤘

First off, CARB CUTTING, or as I like to call it, the

"No Carb Fiesta!"

Imagine telling your body, "Hey, we're gonna rock this day without the bread, pasta, and sugar. We're going keto ninja mode!" Now, science-backed stuff says cutting carbs can force your bod to tap into those fat reserves for fuel¹. It's like telling your body,

"Bro, you got a backup generator – use it!"

But hey, going zero to a hundred, cutting out every carb known to mankind? Not necessary. That's like trying to run a marathon on a single carrot stick. Balance, my friend!

Now, onto the CALORIE DEFICIT jam!

Picture this: You're throwing a lit party, but you're making sure there's fewer pizza boxes than hungry mouths. That's the calorie deficit move! It's not about starving yourself; it's about creating a vibe where your body's burning more than what's coming in⁶. Simple math, but not calculus – we ain't building rocket ships here!

Just eat a bit less or burn a bit more with moves that make you feel like a fitness rockstar⁸!

And guess what?

If you're cutting those carbs and creating a calorie deficit, don't forget to flex those muscles! Strength training ain't just for the gym bros. Muscle is like a calorie-burning furnace on steroids! The more you got, the more you torch, even when you're Netflix and chilling⁶⁹. It's like having a personal assistant who burns calories for you – sign me up! But hey, if you're running on low-carb fuel, make sure your workout playlist isn't low-energy too.

Carbs are like the DJ for your muscles, keeping the beats going strong¹.

Now, let's talk COMBO MEAL!

You're cutting carbs, creating a calorie deficit, and pumping iron – that's like a triple threat move! But hold up, don't go full Rambo on this. Striking a balance is the name of the game. Too little carbs, and you're dragging through workouts like a zombie. Too much deficit, and you're feeling hangry enough to eat your gym buddy. Listen to your body, adjust the dials, and find your sweet spot¹¹.

It's a journey, not a sprint, unless you're sprinting to catch the last donut.

Now, let me drop some wisdom bombs. Imagine this health journey like a buffet – you don't load up on just one thing. Mix and match, baby! And if you hit a plateau or feel like throwing in the towel, remember the legend of perseverance – JOB.

JOB, not the one with the office desk, but the biblical JOB. Dude went through hell and back, yet he didn't give up. He faced carb-cutting-level challenges and still stayed strong. So, when you feel like tossing your salad (the metaphorical one), channel your inner JOB. Flip open your Bible to JOB 23:10, where he drops this gem:
