My question is what should my Macro percentages look like? Protein/Fat & Carbs. If anyone has a general rule to follow I am all ears!
I was a fad diet junkie. I want to stop. I love watching my 600 lb life and watching people overcome their addiction.
So I have decided to follow Dr. Now's advice. Eat a low carb high protein 1200/day diet. 3 meals no snacking.I am also giving up my diet coke. (oh & weigh & measure food & excercise)
So now - I am tracking my meals, building recipes, adding exercise and feeling positive about my choice.
