I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think body recomp is vastly overrated in the fitness sphere and slows progress more than anything.

This is obviously not to say people should stay out of the gym, but seeking progressive overload, especially for someone with a significant amount of weight to lose is just gonna slow progress, where you could probably get your health in a better spot faster if you just did maintenance lifts, and upped the deficit.

Oh 100% body building is not the best or healthiest way to go about the gym. People are obsessed with looks tho sooo

And I say this is someone who fell into this trap where I was stuck at 30 pounds above my current weight for months because I was worried about losing muscle and when I just bumped up the deficit and stop trying to lift more or heavier, I was able to cut so much faster and still have the aesthetic results I wanted.

And if we’re being really honest, the people online who have results super fast are likely on growth hormone peptides, and a GLP-1 in order to achieve that.

unfortunately i’m gonna have to deal with the slow progress, bc when i bumped my deficit up i completely messed up my hormones, and it made it harder to lose weight and maintain the weight loss over time. for some ppl, it’s not an issue to speed things up. but my body just doesn’t respond well to anything other than body recomp at this point.
