The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett · Most Replayed Moment: The Truth About Protein Intake and The Simplest Way To Lose Fat · 27 Mar 2026 podcast

We want to maximize the amount of times you maximally stimulate muscle protein synthesis in the course of the day.

And just from a pragmatic standpoint,

you could probably do that at least three or four times.

And if you're able to do that three or four times in the day versus once with that one big banger of a meal, then you might actually over time gain more muscle than you would have.

And this could make the difference between placings at the end of the prep period.

But as somebody in the general population, theoretically you could –

So essentially you can engage what could be classified as a protein sparing modified fast.

You're basically crash dieting.

I don't love doing that though, honestly.

Losing weight fast.

So you would basically do an aggressive caloric deficit.

So anywhere, I would say 20% below your maintenance needs, 20 to possibly 40, depending on the individual, percent below your maintenance needs.

And then...

Keep the protein high.

And this is going to default you to relatively low carbohydrate, relatively low fat.

And just train regularly.

Don't hurt yourself.

Yeah, protein high.

And calories-wise, so for example, if you maintain that, we'll just take a round number, 2,000 calories.

So you would just lop off about a third of that.
