As a woman, you can\u2019t ignore the role of hormones in fat loss. \u2063
\u2063
\u2026but you can\u2019t lose fat without a (slight) calorie deficit. \u2063
\u2063
Most of the diets you\u2019ve had experience with are in one of two camps: ONLY calorie focused or ONLY hormone focused. \u2063
\u2063
But the truth is, you need a little bit of both to create effective, enjoyable and effortless fat loss. \u2063
\u2063
A well planned macros approach can do that for you. \u2063<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Here\u2019s a refresher:\u2063
\u2063
\u201cCalories\u201d refer to the overall energy a food contributes. Manipulating calorie intake influences only one thing \u2013 body weight, whether that\u2019s gain, loss or maintenance\u2063.\u2063
\u2063
\u2063\u201cMacros\u201d refer to the composition of a food or where the calories in the food originate. Manipulating macro intake influences many things:\u2063
>> lean muscle gain, lean muscle loss\u2063
>> body fat gain, body fat loss\u2063
>> feelings of hunger and fullness\u2063
>> blood sugar balance and stability, hormone balance\u2063
>> stable, consistent energy, energy for high intensity activity\u2063
>> cravings for sweet, salty, or crunchy foods\u2063
and so much more!\u2063
\u2063
If your goal is\u00a0weight\u00a0loss, then tracking total calories\u00a0may\u00a0work for you for a certain amount of time. But, if your goal is fat loss, lean muscle gain, steady blood sugar, optimized hormone and more, then tracking macros is the superior approach.\u2063
\u2063
