You can technically build lean muscle and lose body fat at the same time. The rates at which it happens just tend to be very underwhelming, unless you're in one of four categories. If you're brand new to weight training within your first year or so, if you are obese, if you are...

coming back from a long layoff for whatever reason or if you're on physique enhancing drugs if you're in one of these four situations then doing both at the same time can be a good idea because you can happen you can have that rate happen significantly if you are not in those ranges if you're between 10 to 20 body fat for men or so 20 to 30 body fat for women or so i would recommend the idea of considering

focusing on building lean muscle and strength first before really focusing on, hey, I need to lose as much body fat as possible. I know that this isn't what people want to hear, but I think a lot of times this is what people need to hear because there's a reason that we're on that diet roller coaster all the time. And by getting into this change of mindset, we can avoid a bunch of real problems.

People will usually think, if I just lose 10 more pounds or if I just get abs, I'll finally be happy. without realizing that it's not very easy and sustainable if you don't have larger levels of lean muscle mass to make it as easy as possible.

You may not have the shape that you want by the end of that phase, because people who just try to lose body fat and don't focus on anything else will oftentimes end up looking gaunt or malnourished, or maybe even have that skinny fat phenotype. And it's probably difficult from a sustainability and longevity standpoint. So what I'll normally tell people is,

Maybe switching the mentality to, hey, if I can get to 10 to 20% body fat for a man, 20 to 30% for a woman, this is a good range to be in for building lean muscle and sustainability. I can start to work on those habits and routines that we talked about earlier.

Maybe I can start to find some joy in the gym itself and go from there, build some lean muscle and strength for a couple years before you really focus on completely losing the body fat that you want to get that body that you thought that you wanted.
