Any program or training philosophy is just a tool to achieve that goal result.
There is no 100% absolute answer, as it is simply a game of preference.
To caveat off this, there are more optimal approaches to specific goals.
Some will work better than others, this is simply a fact of biology and physiology.
But it is all nil if you cannot follow a program to achieve your desired results.
So for the IF crowd, the keto/carnivore crowd, and even the bodybuilding crowd:
Someone’s specific goals might not align with your philosophy and that’s just fine, at the end of the day all that matters is finding a lifestyle in-line with someone’s goals that they can adhere to.
In the fitness industry, *good* coaches are able to put their ego aside and do what’s best for long term success for their clients.
Same approach should be taken in every industry.
This isn’t about you, it’s about the person you’re trying to help be successful.

A really good question I’ve been getting is when getting started should you try to build muscle or lose fat. Here’s a little guideline on what to do for your specific situation.
Under 12-15% bodyfat build muscle, over 15% lose fat.
Here’s some variables that go into that 👇🏻
The recomp effect, building muscle and losing fat at the same time, is hard unless complete newbie, coming off long time away from gym, or anabolic assistance.
The most efficient way is to choose either a. Build Muscle, or b. Lose Fat and focus on that.
If you’re on the heavier side, as you get leaner you will then be able to put on mass without adding tons of fat to your frame. I suggest getting around 8–12% bodyfat then bulking slowly until your abs start to fade away. Then slowly diet down. Rinse & repeat until goal physique
Essential Amino Acids (EAA’s) are one of the best supplements you can add to your toolbox.
The EAA’s are the basic building block of muscle, when you take them you trigger your body to go into an anabolic state and this triggers Muscle Protein Synthesis.
When you trigger MPS, your body actively goes into a state of repair.
Because of this it’s very wise to consume them during training (intra workout) or before. Another great time is upon waking because this is one your bodies most stressful times during the day.
By consuming EAA’s immediately upon wake up, you set your body up to be in a state ready for optimal growth or if dieting the optimal environment to hold onto muscle.
Lots of positive with virtually zero downside.
However, many companies shill BCAA’s or are very expensive.
