Q: Is it possible to loss body fat and build muscle at the same time?

A: Basically – No! The best advice we can give you is to stop trying to prove science is wrong. Trying to build muscle and burn fat at the same time will only harm your progress.

To build lean mass (“muscle mass”), it’s necessary for us to be in a caloric surplus, which will bring collateral damage and make us gain fat mass as well (this process is called a “bulk”), The size of the caloric surplus will determine the speed at which we will gain the excess fat mass. This is clearly the opposite of what we want when we want to lose fat.

Fat loss requires a caloric deficit, which will bring as collateral damage the loss of muscle mass (this process is called “cutting”). The size of this deficit will determine how much muscle mass we will lose. This is obviously the opposite of what we want when we are trying to build muscle mass.

Despite it being practically impossible, there are a few scenarios in which both processes can happen:

1)     When we resort to chemicals, like anabolic steroids.
2) When we start weight training for the first time.
3) When we are very over weight.
4) When we are a long time without weight training.
5) When we’re genetic freaks.

So, the best thing is to focus on one of the options at a time, and afterwards proceed to the other one. This is the fashion in which traditionally, most bodybuilders use. First they focus on building muscle (“bulk”), then they focus on burning fat (“cutting”). This way they can reveal the gains they made during the muscle building phase.
