Staying lean on holidays starts weeks before the flight. It’s not a shred—it’s metabolic strategy. Build a body that burns more at rest and regulates hunger, stress, and fat storage before you go away. Muscle first: The more lean mass you carry, the higher your resting metabolic rate. Muscle is your metabolic engine—train with intention. Protein target: Hit 1.6–2.5g per kg of body weight daily. It’s the foundation for muscle gain, satiety, and metabolic stability. Creatine loading: Daily saturation over time (3–5g) supports power output, recovery, brain health, and muscle retention during travel. Strategic carbs: Fuel training with carbs pre/post workout + anchor your day with a proper carb-dominant dinner—supports nervous system regulation and deep sleep. Sleep = hormones: Quality sleep balances cortisol, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports leptin/ghrelin so your appetite and mood stay in check. Train to eat. Don’t eat to fix. #buildmuscleburnfat #metabolicpriming #train...
