    I am still lurking on the facebook page (the one for women..I joined it)..I have my macros which are not too far off from what I am doing now aside from probably needing to eat about 20 more grams of protein...give it a shot! :)

    I practice the philosophies of iifym, unrelated to the website. I aim for 80/20. 80% of my calories come from wholesome, nutrient dense sources and the other 20% are free game. It typically makes it pretty easy to hit my macros. I like the idea that there are no restrictions. Made it very easy to transition from weight loss to maintaining and beyond ;)

    As far as if it works. If you maintain a deficit, you'll lose irregardless of what method you use. I think the idea of 1g of protein per pound of lean body mass is great as well, as that can aid in retaining muscle, along with a good resistance training program.
