The MTNTOUGH Way to Lose Weight, Lean Out and Get Stronger | FLD 003
Coaches Sarah Maschino and Nick Bechtold answer the number-one support question: which program should I do to lose weight or fat? They separate weight loss (calories in, calories out) from fat loss (keep the muscle), explain why you shouldn’t overhaul training first, and cover tracking, protein, gradual deficits, recomp, and why strength training still matters when the scale isn’t dropping. Also: Camp Lejeune with Marine Recon next week, and a nod to Kyle Camp’s nutrition resources in the app. Team performance over the lowest number on the scale.
