The secret to lasting transformation: body recomposition.
Dear patients and friends,
The goal for many patients is not simply to «lose weight,» but rather to lose fat while preserving, or even building, muscle mass. This is what is called body recomposition.
But here's a reality that many are unaware of:
Losing weight too quickly, without a strategy, often leads to muscle loss.
In this short video capsule, we explain why the number on the scale isn't the most important indicator and how to protect your metabolism during your weight loss journey.
To preserve your muscle mass, it is crucial to:
Maintain adequate protein intake
Prioritize resistance training (weightlifting)
Avoid extreme caloric deficits
Prioritize quality sleep
✔️ Have rigorous medical follow-up
At Physimed, our multidisciplinary approach helps you lose fat intelligently, without compromising your strength or vitality. Our kinesiologists and dietitians work hand-in-hand with our doctors to adjust your game plan.
