Macronutrients

Macronutrients

The last part about the importance of a calorie deficit was a little dry, right? You might think that this is nothing new and everyone knows that you need to eat less to lose weight.

I get it.

Calories aren't sexy and counting them definitely isn't groundbreaking advice.

But calorie counting isn't what this program is all about. The last section was just to help you understand that calories matter and anyone saying otherwise is lying to you. But don't worry, this doesn't mean you have to count calories for the rest of your life. In the Q&A I will list ways to lose weight without micromanaging every aspect of your diet.

So with that out of the way, let's now talk about macronutrients, which are the second most important factor in your diet. Macronutrients are the three main nutrients your body uses for important vital functions. They are protein, carbohydrates and dietary fat.

Protein is one of the basic components of food and makes all life possible. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and help provide for the transport of nutrients, oxygen and waste throughout the body. Basically they provide the structure for all tissue in our bodies.
