Yes, with the right dietary approach, you can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time.
This latest study backs up what others have shown: the approach is “protein hyperfeeding” - in this case, 3.4 g/kg/d: https://t.co/u4mg03jodM (of course, you need to be lifting weights also).
and on the flipside, via "using AI to write/research"...from today's @farnamstreet ...
..."You can get the answer without effort, but you can't get the understanding."
Food for thought.
New study shows that 93.2% of the timecomputer-algorithms can detect human writing vs fake "AI slop" https://t.co/zAZjtvbK6n

What compounds actually help with longevity?
New study indicates that daidzein, apigenin, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin E are core dietary antioxidants closely associated with a REDUCED risk of accelerated biological aging: https://t.co/FtJyhaZRSF (FYI, apigenin is in parsley, artichokes, and chamomile; daidzein is in natto; zinc is in red meat/oysters, vitamin E in seeds/nuts/fish)
Sex differences in supplementation matter.
Sodium nitrate (common in beet root extract and some pre-workouts) HELPS endurance exercise adaptations in men but HURTS adaptations in women:

Low carb + low calories appears to be the MOST effective combo for fat loss (vs. just restricting carbs, just restricting calories, or doing neither):

“Perfectly combining” plant proteins is still inferior to animal proteins when it comes to muscle protein synthesis: https://t.co/W9uIUMUr6C (and let’s face it, it’s just EASIER to eat a steak than it is to wander around the kitchen mixing up the right ratios of beans, nuts, seeds, rice, grains, etc.).
The notion that “creatine is bad for your kidneys” is based on the idea that your doctor might see elevated creatinine and be concerned about your kidneys. But there’s no evidence that elevated creatinine from taking creatine is a problem for the kidneys, and this latest study backs that up: https://t.co/ltml4uE1IR
Psychiatrist Phil Stutz on the immediate rewards of bad habits:
“The impulses for all of our bad habits travel along the same path – a straight shot to immediate gratification through what I call the lower channel... Lower channel functioning is a disaster. When the pleasure is over, we’re left with nothing.”

Even what seems like *tiny* movement snacks (e.g. 1 to 5 minutes of exercise, 3 times per day, 3 to 7 days per week) improve cardiorespiratory fitness, including an increase in VO2max:
