Welcome! I’m so
glad you are here!
I know you may be feeling like you have
tried absolutely everything and you are
still not seeing the scale drop. You keep
trying the same thing over and over and
let's face it, it's still not working for you.
D O E S T H I S S O U N D FA M I L I A R ?
You feel lost when you walk into the gym, and you string together a
workout hoping the exercises you have chosen will be effective and give
you the results you are trying to achieve. You avoid the free weight area
because you feel like everyone is watching you, and you aren’t 100%
confident in your ability to perform the exercises properly.
Some days you are so frustrated by your lack of progress that you can’t
find the motivation to get to the gym. The frustration causes you to fall
off track so you skip your workouts for the rest of the week and tell
yourself that you will start again on Monday.
In the kitchen, you have no idea what foods you should be eating to
properly fuel your body. You are very unsure about when to eat, what to
eat, how much to eat, and what NOT to eat. When you take your
questions to Google, you get thousands of different answers, leaving you
even more confused.
I H E A R YO U .

You are feeling uncomfortable in your own skin, and every time
you walk by a mirror, you catch yourself picking your body apart.
How do I know this?! I know this because I went through this myself.
I’m Olivia Ostrom. I help women ditch the diets, end restrictions,
and finally find food freedom.

T H E M O S T C O N F I D E N T V E R S I O N O F T H E M S E LV E S .
I see you and I completely understand what you are going through.

I have been there. I struggled with binge eating for as long as I can
remember. I would consistently restrict myself from the foods I love (ice
cream, candy, chocolate...), which would spiral me into a full out binge
followed by a lot of guilt. Then repeat. I was always searching for the next
best diet to try in hopes of solving my problem.
3
Through tracking macros, I learned that I could incorporate my favourite
foods without feeling guilty or ashamed for eating a couple slices of pizza
or having a donut. My life was no longer consumed by food and my body
obsession to lose weight and look skinny.
You have the power to do the same. Just by taking the time to dive
into this guide shows me that you are ready to make a change, you are
already taking that next step. I am so freaking proud of you!
I am passionate about showing you that food is not the enemy, you don’t
need to cut calories or restrict yourself from yummy foods to see results.
I want you to picture going out with friends and knowing how to properly
fuel your body while enjoying yourself at the same time. You are no longer
afraid to order dessert or enjoy a glass of wine.
Think about what life would be like if you were able to stop stressing
about food on vacation because you are finally in control of what foods
you put in your body.
I want you to imagine going shopping and falling in love with all of the
clothes you are trying on, rather than thinking “this will look nice when I
lose 10 pounds.”
T H I S C O U L D B E YO U .
I created this guide so that you can begin to create a healthy sustainable
lifestyle and say bye to diets for good. Ultimately, I want you to fall in love
your body and yourself!

MACRONUTRIENTS
You might feel like you have a pretty good understanding about what
foods you should be eating to fuel your body properly, or maybe this is
something you are confused about, either way you are in the right place.
Carbohydrates are needed to fuel and energize the body. All body tissues
use carbs for energy, which is necessary for the central nervous system,
kidneys, brain, and muscles to function properly.
Examples of fat sources: Nuts, nut butter, avocado, olive oil, coconut oil.

S T E P 1 : C A LC U L AT I N G YO U R BA S A L M E TA B O L I C R AT E
Prior to calculating your macros, you will need to figure out your BMR.
Your BMR is the number of calories required to keep your body functioning
properly while you are at rest. This is life without movement or calories
burned from digestion.
WOMEN:
BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )
MEN:
BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in years )
Example:
Kim is 25 years old, 130 pounds, and 5’8” (68 inches)
It is important to know that this calculation does not account for muscle
mass which can significantly affect your BMR. The more muscle mass you
have, the more calories your body burns while it is resting.

S T E P 2 : C A L C U L A T I N G YO U R T O T A L D A I LY E N E R G Y
EXPENDITURE (TDEE)
Your TDEE includes how many calories your body burns both actively and
passively. Next, you will need to choose your activity level to determine
your TDEE. Your TDEE is the number of calories you need to maintain
your weight.
Example:
Kim’s BMR: 1422.6, activity factor 1.55
as she is moderately active.
LO S E FAT :
Decrease your TDEE by 250-400 calories.
(250-350 calories is recommended in most cases)
GAIN MUSCLE:
Increase your TDEE by 200-400 calories.
MAINTAIN:
Consume your TDEE.
Example:
Kim wants to lose weight so decides to decrease her TDEE by the
recommended calories of 300.
If you are inconsistent with hitting your goals, don’t adjust the values, it is
important you see how your body is responding to the goals you have set
for yourself originally. Remember, this is not a diet, you are creating a new
sustainable lifestyle.

S T E P 4 : C A LC U L AT I N G YO U R C U S TO M I Z E D M AC RO S
Sedentary - 0.8g
Moderately active - 1.0g
Very active - 1.2g
Body weight x (chosen value between 0.8 and 1.2g) = Protein in grams
Keep in mind, if your body fat mass is high you will want to use your lean
body mass rather than your body weight for this equation.
Now that we know your protein in grams we are going to figure out your
calorie intake from protein.
Example:
Kim is 130 pounds
130 lbs x 1.0 = 130g of protein
130g x 4 calories = 520 calories
11
Fat: 9 calories per 1 gram of fat
Next, we are going to determine your fat intake. You are going to multiply
your body weight in pounds by a value between 0.3g and 0.4g. If your main
goal is fat loss I recommend choosing 0.3g as your value for fat. If your
goal is to maintain or build muscle you can choose 0.3 or 0.4g. Never go
lower than 0.3 as fats are important for regulating your hormones. Again, if
your body fat mass is high you will want to use your lean body mass rather
than your body weight for this equation.
Body weight x (chosen value between 0.3 and 0.4) = Fat in grams
Now that we know your protein in grams we are going to figure out your
calorie intake from fat.
Example:
130 lbs x 0.4 = 52g of fat
52g x 9 calories = 468 calories
Carbohydrates: 4 calories per 1 gram of carbs
Now that you have allocated calories to protein and fats, the remaining
calories are going to come from your carbohydrates. Here is how to
calculate your calories from carbohydrates:
Example:
1905 calories - (520 + 468) = 917 calories from carbs
917 / 4 = 229g of carbs

***Please note: These numbers are a great starting point, they will give you a
general guideline. However, they are not always going to be correct. There are
many factors that can affect these numbers such as your daily activity, your
metabolism, diet history, current nutrition, and how your body adapts to
different proteins/carbs/fats. I always recommend working with a coach if you
want the most accurate macros as all of these factors are taken into
consideration.
13
MACRO TIPS
You want to be within +/- 5 grams of each macronutrient on a daily
basis! Focus on hitting your macronutrient goals, not your calorie goal,
because your calories and macros might not add up. This is normal!
15
QUALITY OF FOOD
The other 20% refers to the food items that you eat when you want to
indulge a bit or when you are having a craving. Remember, any nutritional
approach that completely restricts food groups or certain foods you love is
not sustainable for long periods of time.
Here is a list of some of the food sources that I recommend. You are not
limited to the things on this list, I encourage you to incorporate the foods
that you love on a day to day basis.
Protein Sources:
Day 1
Day 2
Lunch: Taco salad - Ground turkey, romaine lettuce, tomato, black beans,
shredded cheddar cheese, and salsa
Time and time again, you are putting the hard work in but you
are seeing little to no results.

CARDIO RECOMMENDATION
SEDENTARY:
10-15 min walk every day outside or on a treadmill.
Fat loss: 2-3 sessions per week of 20 minutes of running, biking, stairclimber,
walking on a treadmill at 8-10% incline, etc. You can also do 10 minute HIIT
sessions - 20 seconds sprints, 40 seconds resting.
Muscle gain: Depending on the cardio you are currently doing, slowly begin to
reduce cardio week by week until you are doing no cardio. Cardio is not
necessary, but you can incoperate it in minimal amounts if you choose to. Do
not over do it because excess cardio will break down your hard earned muscle!
Maintain: Continue your regular cardio routine with sessions no longer than 20
minutes. You do not need to do more than 2-3 cardio sessions per week. If you
are currently doing more cardio than suggested, slowly the amount of cardio
you are doing each week.
WA R M U P R E C O M M E N DAT I O N
Your warm-up should include a 5-7 minute cardio session to elevate heart
rate and get the blood flowing. After your cardio warm-up, utilize dynamic
stretching, focus your dynamic stretches depending on which muscle
groups you are working that day (upper body vs. lower body). Choose an
exercise that will stimulate the muscle that you will use on that day and
perform a few light warm-up sets to get the blood flowing to the joints and
muscles you'll be using.
Example leg day: body weight squats and lunges 2 sets x 10 reps
