What is Macros?

The festive season is upon us! Feasting and making merry! Before you start the holiday season I am going to provide a series of articles to kick start 2015 and achieve that fitness resolution that has been delayed for way too long. Welcome the world of Macros!

When I stumbled upon the term macros I did not understand what it meant. Ask most people at work and I bet you they will stare blankly at you. 
 
Let me fill you in about this term. 

Macros basically means macro-nutrients. The body requires both macro and micro-nutrients to sustain and maintain healthy. Carbohydrates, Fats and Proteins are your main macro-nutrients and the various vitamins are micro-nutrients.

The question now is how much does one actually need to stay healthy? It is tricky and requires a bit of patience and some reading before one embarks on this journey. But once you get the hang of it and know what your daily macros are, you will be able to enjoy the foods you love more regularly and achieve that physique you always wanted!

Imagine eating bacon, pancakes and ice cream more regularly during the week, rather then restricting yourself to just over the weekend? And still achieving a six pack or a lean body? Well my friends welcome to the world of flexible dieting!

If you would like to find out more then please stay tuned every Monday and Thursday on our page!
