FAT LOSS FUNDAMENTALS

A Course by Dr. Tony Boutagy

Design Fat‑Loss Programs That Preserve Muscle and Still Work Years Later

Fat-loss advice changes every few months. Physiology doesn't.

This course gives you the evidence-based system to design sustainable fat-loss phases that:

Protect and build muscle
Use strength, cardio and intervals in one clear structure
Respect energy availability and metabolic adaptation

…so you can deliver real‑world results without trends, extremes, or guesswork.

WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR

For Coaches

You're tired of clients bouncing between 8 week challenges and unsustainable diets.

Fat Loss Fundamentals shows you how to;

Design fat‑loss programs that preserve muscle, not just drop scale weight
Combine strength, aerobic work and intervals in a way clients can actually stick to
Explain your decisions with confidence, backed by current research

So you stand out as the coach who gets results that last, not just transformations that rebound.

For Experienced Lifters & Fitness Enthusiasts

You've tried every new plan, only to end up stuck, smaller or burnt out.

Here, you'll learn the principles that actually drive quality fat loss:

How to set realistic rates of loss
How to keep (or build) strength and muscle while dieting
How to avoid living in chronic low energy availability

So you can take control of your own training and nutrition for life instead of outsourcing it to the next trend.

Curriculum

INSIDE THE COURSE

Module 01

The Role of Strength Training

Quality weight loss vs. recomposition, historical vs. current evidence for strength training in fat loss, weekly & long-term periodisation, GPP for fat loss, programming considerations (lines of movement & pairings), sample GPP and intermediate fat loss programs.

Module 02

Aerobic Exercise

Concurrent training effect, intensity domains, metabolic flexibility & Zone 2, fasted vs. fed exercise, HIIT types + warm-ups, sample HIIT programs, weekly periodisation so cardio and lifting support each other instead of compete.

Module 03

Metabolic Adaptation

Adaptive thermogenesis, compensation, constrained energy expenditure theory, low energy availability (part 1), plus practical strength and interval workouts that apply the theory.

Module 04

Intermittent Dieting

Low energy availability (part 2), intermittent energy restriction, time-restricted eating options, strength sessions and sprint interval programming, with examples you can plug into real clients.

Module 05

Advanced Energy Restriction

Advanced restriction options, EPOC, session organisation, LCHF/ketogenic/high-fibre diets, body recomposition, and applied training plans showing when and how to use advanced options without wreaking recovery.

Module 06

Monitoring Training Recovery & The Role of Sleep

Macronutrient strategies for overweight clients, monitoring training load, recovery, and sleep's impact on body composition — with clear, evidence-based improvement frameworks you can use to adjust programs before they stall.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

By the end of this course, you'll:

UNDERSTAND

The key physiological principles that govern fat loss, muscle retention, and energy availability.

LEARN

How to balance strength training, aerobic work, and recovery for optimal results

IDENTIFY

How metabolic adaptation and energy restriction impact progress and how to recognise when you or a client need to change the plan.

PROGRAM

For sustainable fat loss while maintaining muscle and performance

KNOW

How to monitor recovery, improve sleep, and support long-term success using simple frameworks you can apply with yourself or clients.

Why It Matters

Cut Through the Noise and Train for Real Results

Most fat‑loss content is built to sell an 8‑week challenge, not to work for years.

This course replaces hype with hard evidence and shows you how to:

Separate what’s popular from what’s proven
Design fat‑loss phases that respect physiology instead of fighting it
Make programming decisions you can defend to any client – or to yourself

Whether you’re a coach helping others or programming your own training, these principles will change how you approach fat loss, recovery, and long‑term performance.

"Real fat loss isn't about what works for 8 weeks — it's about what still works years later."

— Tony Boutagy, PhD

Student Feedback

WHAT STUDENTS SAY

"We're always looking to advance our learning, and Tony's depth of knowledge is unmatched. Every course has given us practical tools that immediately improved how we coach and program."

Rachel & Emma Dillon

Move with Us Founders

I'm an exercise physiologist and trainer, and I've just completed Tony's Fat Loss Fundamentals course. If you're looking to gain extensive knowledge in the area of sustainable fat loss results for clients, and you're looking to take your knowledge and business to the next level, this is definitely the course to take. Fantastic content, brilliant lectures, all backed by the latest research. So get off the fence, enroll and get learning.

"I'm more confident programming for women now — I can explain my choices and back them with science. This course has completely changed how I think about training."

Nina Price

Fitness Business Owner

I can't give Tony's courses a high enough rating. They're pure gold — every module is packed with practical, science-backed insight.

Hailey Babcock

Trainer

Thank you Tony for doing the hard yards and putting together all the data and all the available science that comes behind actual fat loss itself. There is a lot of information in the public arena, especially from social media, commentators and bro science, that it can be hard to distinguish between what is actually effective and what's a waste of time, and I felt the fat loss fundamentals really cut to the chase and gave me (which I can then pass on to my clients) effective strategies to get on top of fat loss for clients.

Mark

The fat loss fundamental course was amazing. I learned so much. Tony goes right into all the details, but in a way that is easy to understand. And not only that, a lot of the stuff I was able to implement straight away with all my clients as well and start getting them better results. So thank you very much, Tony for such a great course, and I'll definitely be doing the next one that comes up.
