A macro-based approach to simple and sustainable weight loss Say goodbye to calorie counting with this revolutionary weight-loss method. Macronutrients or 'macros' are the three main nutrient groups that your body can't live without: carbohydrates, fats and protein. So many diets focus on calorie counting, but all calories are not created equal: your body doesn't process 20 calories of kale and 20 calories of chocolate in the same way, and that is all down to their different macro breakdowns. The Macro Method is about balance. By eating the right ratio of carbohydrates, fats and protein, you can lose weight and build muscle in a healthy, sustainable way without avoiding the foods you love. It is a flexible approach to dieting, which encourages you to make smart food choices that guarantee results. This book will tell you everything you need to know about counting macros, including the latest research about how the diet works and its nutritional benefits. The 21-day plan will help you ditch the calorie counting for good, with more than 40 simple recipes to tempt you.
