How to Get Below 10% Body Fat as Fast as Possible (The Exact Formula)

Mind Pump hosts Sal and Adam break down the exact formula for getting from lean to sub-10% body fat as quickly as possible. They explain why a consistent, dogmatic calorie deficit is essential once you're below 10%, and how carb cycling can help preserve sanity and gym pumps. The episode covers the importance of walking as the primary fat loss tool, dealing with increasing hunger, using boring meals and specific supplements like EAAs, creatine, and whey, and cutting training volume in half to play defense. Sleep becomes critical, and cardio should be saved as a final-week trump card.
