FLEXIBLE DIETING; is a popular weight loss program thatβs based on a sensible theory.
Also called If It Fits Your Macros (IIFYM), it promotes the notion that there are no βbad foodsβ and allows you to choose any food, as long as it fits within your macronutrient needs.
There is a common misconception that flexible dieters just eat crap food when really this is not the case at all. Flexible dieting does not mean filling up your daily macros with as much crap food as possible, it's more about creating balance within your diet and lifestyle and allowing you to eat a small portion of chocolate guilt-free along side your lunch of chicken and vegetables for example. Today I've taken a photo of what I would eat as a snack in my daily diet. A tin of tuna, peanut butter on rice cakes and a caramello koala π€€
There are many ways to approach this diet and it's not a one size fits all, meaning it is not going to work for everyone.
So how does it work?
You will want to calculate your daily total expenditure and then come up with a calorie/macro split from there based on your goals creating either a defecit or surplus.
It can be difficult to work out in the beginning but once you track your diet and progress for a couple weeks you will learn the true glory of why so many people LOVE flexible dieting.
