How to Lose Fat and Build Muscle

Are You Trying To Lose Fat and Build Muscle But Not Seeing the Results You Want?

Body recomposition, or “re-comp,” is when you want to lose fat and build muscle to get a leaner, more defined and toned look without focusing on your weight too much. It’s a tough balancing act that takes both patience and strategy. Many people get frustrated trying to do it on their own, feeling stuck and burnt out.

You might feel like you’re doing everything right—eating healthy, working out consistently—but still not seeing the changes you expect. It’s easy to get discouraged when the scale doesn’t move or your body isn’t changing like you want it to. Instead of trying every new trend, you need a plan built for your body and goals. With the right program and strategy, real change happens—slowly but steadily—and the results last.

Why Most People Fail at Re-comp

Trying to Do Both (Gain Muscle and Lose Fat) at the Same Time

If you are an intermediate to an advanced person, you can’t do both at the same time. You need a clear strategy. Should you lose fat first then gain muscle, or should you gain muscle first then lose fat? The wrong strategy will kill your progress.

Not Tracking the Right Measurements

Most people focus ONLY on their weight, but true progress comes from understanding the body measurements that lead to true re-comp. Knowing where numbers should be for body fat percentage, pounds of fat on your body, and muscle mass is essential to achieving body recomposition.

Not Understanding How Results Should Look

If you don’t understand the process of re-comp, then chances are you won’t know how your body should be changing. Your body could be changing exactly to plan, but you misinterpret the results making you feel your program isn’t working.

Underestimating the Challenge of Achieving Re-Comp

In re-comp you don’t have one goal. You have two goals; lose fat AND gain muscle. Each of these goals has a different protocol, a different mindset, and a different set of habits. Most can either lose fat or gain muscle, but few are able to make the mental shift to achieve both.

How would your life change if you had a clear path to achieving your ideal body, without setbacks or wasted effort?

What you need is a program and support system that will help you navigate this next-level fitness journey.

How iFM Coaching Points You in the Right Direction

We’ve developed a proven re-comp program that takes out the guesswork and helps you achieve a lean, muscular physique in a healthy, sustainable way. We’ve helped thousands of people like you achieve lasting transformations.

Here’s how we do it:

We Find Your Starting Point

Just like using a GPS, you need to know where you are before you can plan where you want to go. We start by assessing your total weight, body fat percentage, fat mass, and lean body mass. This gives us the data we need to create a personalized plan that’s right for your body.

We Set Realistic Goals

Whether you want to drop 10 pounds of fat and gain 10 pounds of muscle, or maybe it’s 5, 15, or 30 pounds, we help you set achievable goals based on where you are now, and the timeline it will take.

We Create the Proper Strategy

We will know which goal we need to achieve first, whether it’s fat loss or muscle building. We will know how much you need to lose and gain and know when it’s time to switch to the next goal.

We Create Your Plans

We will give you the exact blueprint, tailored to you and your lifestyle, to help you achieve your re-comp goals. We take a comprehensive approach to helping you achieve your goals, giving you nutrition plans, exercise plans, habit plans, and mindset plans, covering every aspect that will lead to massive changes.

We Make You a Part of Our Community

Being part of a community means having people who understand what you’re going through, which makes everything you’re experiencing feel a lot more normal. Sharing the experience and learning from others, makes your journey feel less lonely and more connected.

We Assess Your Progress Routinely

We will monitor your progress, analyze the measurements, and determine if you’re making the progress we’d expect. We will then modify the plans to help you take the next step in your journey to re-comp.

Imagine what you can achieve with the right knowledge, the right support, and the right program?
