I want to focus on how we can fuel our bodies with balance by embracing Macro Balanced Nutrition and I want to explain why itâs better for not just weight loss but also overall health compared to doing Low Carb or Low Fat loss strategies.
So first, I want to give a quick explanation to why following Low Carb or Low Fat diet without necessarily tracking macros can work for weight loss initially. And this is because it’s not that mixing Carbs and Fats lead exactly to weight gain, but it’s that typically foods that are high in Carbs and Fats are also typically very calorie dense for a small amount of food, so if you avoid Carbs or Fats then you’ll likely be avoiding high calorie foods which can likely put you in a calorie deficit that can lead to weight loss. And because being in a Calorie Deficit is the #1 rule for weight loss, this is why in the short term Low Carb or Low Fat diets can work.
BUT typically these type of restrictive diets are not sustainable long-term, which is why so many people that lose weight trying to do Low Carb or Low Fat, end up not being able to keep the weight off because once they finish that diet they go back to how they were eating previously and the weight comes back onđŁ
Nothing was learned for a balanced life to keep results. We canât/likely wonât enjoy completely cutting out Carbs and Fats for good.
Short term strategies canât lead to long term results!
And also, our bodies NEED BOTH Carbs and Fats for health! Each Macronutrient (Protein, Carbs, and Fats) has a very important role for our bodies! Depriving our bodies of one wonât lead to feeling balanced or fueling the best Long Term Fat Loss Results!
Macro Balanced Nutrition for weight loss is superior because itâs giving your body the nutrients it needs to thrive AND you’re actually learning how to fuel yourself with ALL FOODS! This will lead to making results while learning how you can keep them!
Macro Balance nutrition for weight loss teaches you habits and basic information about nutrition that you can keep for life so that you can be knowledgeable on how you can properly fuel yourself and lose the weight for good!
BOTTOM LINE: When you learn about Macros, you have the knowledge to KEEP your results LONG TERM! You’re also properly fueling your body to get lean without restrictions! And while I know Tracking Macros can seem overwhelming at first, the lifelong lessons you can learn about food while you get lean with a few months tracking I think is 10000% worth the effort!
