The Self Reliant Diet: Simple and Scientific Calorie and Macronutrient Tracking

Whatever your aesthetic or body composition goals may be, ignoring Calories and the macronutrients is equivalent to closing your eyes and then driving across the country. Even if you don't crash, you don't know where you are going, and you will never know when you get there. If you have a basic understanding of how currency, debt, savings, expenses, and bills work in everyday life, you can take control of your diet and move your physiology in any direction you choose. The human body has a "budget" with regards to necessary calories. I can teach you how to manage this budget. The macronutrients (Protein, Fat, and Carbohydrates) play unique and specific roles within your body, and therefore, within this budget. When you understand the role and function of the macronutrients, you will know how you can be successful on ANY diet, but by the end of this book, you probably won't care too much for the trending and popular diets of the day because you will be self-reliant and too busy following your dietary tenants, tailored specifically to you and your physiological needs. Knowing that you can manage this Calorie and macronutrient budget isn't enough. You should also know how to handle this on a meal-by-meal and day-by-day basis. You should know how to "audit" your budget weekly to see if you are on track or not. You should know how to build an individualized calorie and macro program for an eight or 12-week fat-loss phase or an eight or 12-week muscle-growth phase. Both of these require an understanding of how to calculate an appropriate calorie deficit or calorie surplus. The information and application are right here in this book.
