CALCULATING YOUR Eating less calories than your body naturally burns
in a day (excluding exercise), is scientifically the
UNIQUE MACROS ONLY way to loose weight.
YOUR FOOD GOALS No one will know if you cheat... you are only
FOR EVERYDAY cheating yourself. Every cheat day that you have is
another day you are not losing weight. I believe
that you should not have cheat days for the first 6
months or when you reach your goal weight if it is
FOOD CHOICES AND sooner than 6 months. This trains and teaches you
EXERCISE PLAN the importance of consistency and helps you see
continuous progress. Download MyFitnessPal if
you haven't already. Do it.

This guide will recommend and plan a low calorie, high protein diet. No, you do not have to
do a low carb diet to lose weight. If you are in a calorie deficit, you will lose weight, but
low carb does help curb cravings and hunger, burn fat, assist in having less loose skin, and
speed up weight loss.
LET THIS BE CLEAR: THIS IS NOT THE "KETO DIET"!!! The well known keto diet focus on
eating a high fat diet. This is unnecessary and frankly makes a calorie deficit difficult
because high fat foods are usually higher in calories. That being said, you don't need to
count how much fat you intake, but you also don't need to try purposely to consume a
certain amount of fat per day.
This is one of the hardest truths to read... but it is hands down the most important...... If
you follow this guide... you WILL lose weight. If you are not losing weight... you are not
following this guide. If you are not losing weight, you are eating more calories than your
body is burning. Period. No excuses.

Step One:
Determining
Body
Composition
Option ONE (best): Find somewhere
near you that does body
composition tests. This can be the
body 270 or 360 test, or the BodPod
test. Ensure that any body
composition test will tell you your
skeletal muscle mass and BMR
(basal metabolic rate). Those are
the two necessary numbers you
need.
Understanding what BMR is: BMR stands for Basal Metabolic Rate. This number is the
estimated number of calories your body would need to consume/intake in a single day to
neither gain nor lose weight. Eat less than this number and you will lose weight; eat more
than the number and you will gain weight. It's that simple. 500 is a standard number that
doctors will typically subtract from BMR for recommended weight loss. This is because rapid
results typically occur with or without exercise, and typically encourage long term results
from the patient witnessing results soon after starting the caloric deficit. Eating 500 less
than your BMR IS SAFE. Even if you eat less than this number, you will NOT go into
"starvation mode" as long as you consume enough protein each day.

Step Two:
Calculating Your Unique Macros
Each person will have unique numbers for number of calories they should eat per day. You
will now calculate those numbers:
Total Carbs: Carbs read on nutrition labels or MyFitnessPal all added up throughout the day.
Net carbs: total carbs-fiber

Food Options!
Eat any foods from this list...HOWEVER...You must still enter the amount you eat in the app:
MYFITNESSPAL and calculate the calorie and carbs into your daily totals! This is vital to
maintaing your caloric deficit.
You're probably wondering why this list seems so short...when starting to lose weight, its best
to keep it simple. Don't over complicate your plan with crazy meals and obscure foods.
My suggestion:
Replace breakfast and lunch with a premier protein shake.
Then choose 4oz of any of the meats and 2 cups of any veggies listed for dinner.
For a snack (if you need it) 2 hard boiled eggs or a 2.5oz piece of chicken.
Net Carbs: 2g
Protein: 30g

Workouts
This is a starting simple guide to weight loss. You don't need to be an expert in the gym. In
fact...I lost my first 24lbs in one month by...WALKING!!!!! As you lose weight, become more
motivated, and want to learn more throughout your weigth loss journey, you can gradually
incorporate more exercises and advance your workouts.
My recommendation:
45 min of walking as fast as you
can maintain, for the full
amount of time. remember to
keep your heart rate up!
THAT'S IT FRIENDS!!!
If you are not losing weight, reflect on how you are counting calories.
Are you using the app?
Are you measuring your food correctly?
Are you cooking with butter that adds 200 calories to each meal? switch it for non stick spray.
Don't have a scale to measure your food? AMAZON!
Work with the plan to make it work for you!
You have the tools! USE THEM! You have no more excuses!!!
