** PAIR YOUR MACROS RESPONSIBLY **

Forget about the timing. You don't necessarily need to stop eating 4 hours before bedtime. You don't need to wait until noon to eat your first meal of the day. Unless this works too curb your personal hunger, these aren't necessarily universal weight loss tricks.

Here are a couple weight loss tips (based on science) that have been proven a million times over and I've incorporated into my program with nice results!


(1) No individual macro is bad by itself.

(2) Protein is the KING of nutrients and soul pd not be neglected. EAT PROTEIN WITH EVERY MEAL!

(3) Pairing carbs with protein = high initial burst of energy without the carb crash (that comes from eating carbs alone). Do this for the first meal of the day to give you energy to support you throughout the day.

(4) Pairing fats with protein = slow, constant energy source. This is best for your final meal as it will keep you full throughout the night.

(5) Use a sugary carb source around workouts to get maximum power and protein to sustain the energy during and after.

(6) If you want to minimize fat gain, DON'T PAIR FATS AND CARBS in meals. "You gotta keep 'em separated!" Unless you're a workout fiend that burns a million calories, this combination with hinder your results. Think about what we call "unhealthy foods": fried chicken, pizza, buttery pasta, chocolate candy bars... just about anything that tastes awesome! This combo is delicious, but will sabotage a diet if moderation is not exercised.

(7) Lots of water to keep things flushing and flowing properly.

(8) Sleep. Lots of sleep.


Your digestive system slows at night and carbs need activity to be used. Without it, they'll stick around longer than desired 😉.

If you eat both fats and carbs in the same sitting, your body will burn the carbs, sustain with protein, and store the fats for later. It uses that order for prioritizing these micronutrients so use caution.

So, protein+carbs in the morning. A nice balance of macros in the afternoon (protein-heavy), and protein+fats for dinner with low carbs.

This is the recipe for success!
