Weight loss tips and tricks
Let's first look at how to combat hunger, the arch-nemesis of your cutting phase. Your genetics play a part in regulating your general hunger levels throughout the day [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], specifically the gene MC4R.
You encounter this particular gene every time you have a meal — it's responsible for letting you know when you feel full from eating. Some people won the genetic lottery (let's call them type 1 people) and can feel full after just a small meal. Others, like many of the beta-testers, can eat 7 slices of pizza and then ask for the rest of the box. They are type 2 people.
The main issue for type 2 people is getting that "full" feeling without actually eating too many calories. But, thankfully, there are tons of easy ways to feel full.
All of the most up-to-date tips and tricks are listed below in no particular order, and it's recommended you use all of them to make your cutting phases as easy as possible!
Weight gain tips and tricks
If the fitness world, those who have trouble gaining weight are known as "hard gainers", an issue more common than you might think. Below are the tips and tricks you can use to get over your weight gain plateaus in no particular order.
Caution: Don't go all-in at the beginning. Start with one or two of these tips in moderation and then check after a week to see if your weight has gone up.
If not, try implementing a few more tips gradually, but do not gain too much weight! Any weight you gain over your muscle-building potential will be fat, not healthy muscle.
