Eat Food You Love & Lose Weight: If It Fits Your Macros

By Movat Emica

It's that time of the month again. Time to pull that weight scale out from the back of your closet, dust it off, and put it to use. It's time to measure yet again how many pounds you have gained this month. Isn't that the most frustrating thing ever? You've tried everything by now from signing up for a gym membership to adopting a keto diet. Heck, you even went to the extreme and tried some intermittent fasting, yet shedding pounds has never seemed so difficult.
Usually, a diet plan is a fool-proof way to avoid greasy and fatty foods that would add to your weight. However, you can't help but have a cheat meal (or two) and suddenly you find yourself gorging on pizza and burgers. No matter what, you feel like you have given a percent of your life away while sacrificing your favorite foods to maintain a healthy scale.
But what if I told you about a little something that could change your life? What if there is a diet plan where you could enjoy your favorite meals without an ounce of sacrifice? What if you could still eat junk and maintain the weight you want? Let me introduce you to the 'If It Fits Your Macros,' or IIFYM, diet plan. It's hard to believe that something like this could exist, but it does, and this book will be your guide through the IIFYM diet.

It’s time to measure yet again how many pounds you have gained this month. Isn’t that the most frustrating thing ever? You’ve tried everything by now from signing up for a gym membership to adopting a keto diet. Heck, you even went to the extreme and tried some intermittent fasting, yet shedding pounds has never seemed so difficult.
