What Are Macros?

When people say they are tracking or counting their macros, they mean they are tracking how much protein, carbs and fats they are consuming. 

Macro counting is unlike all the other restrictive diets, because it is not a diet. There are no strict rules! And there are no foods that are off limits! You do not have to rely on buying special products or customized meal plans because you are in control.

Macro counting is a tool that teaches you how to fuel your own unique body and lifestyle. No matter your age or what phase of life you are in. 

Yes calories do matter. In order to lose weight, you need to create a caloric deficit. So you could just count calories. However, if you are not getting in enough protein, your body is at a high risk of losing lean muscle mass when you are in a deficit. 

With macro counting, it helps you find your fat loss sweet spot. This is where you are able to eat the most amount of food while still creating a caloric deficit. It helps make the process enjoyable and effective! 

I used to do this too. I would stop eating sugar and carbs thinking that was the answer to weight loss. Well, it was, until I started eating carbs and sugar again. It was not sustainable weight loss. 

If you want long-term weight loss, restriction will never work long-term. Why? Because it is never enjoyable and not sustainable. Restriction will always lead to a binge. 

I want to encourage you to think about what kind of success do you want? Short- term or long-term? If you want results that stick, then restriction will never be your answer.
