    About this ebook

    With Flexible Dieting & IIFYM, You Can Finally Lose Unwanted Weight and Belly Fat While Eating All of Your Favorite Foods!

    Anyone can start a diet, but not stopping it is the hard part. Flexible Dieting is without a doubt one of, if not the most sustainable Diet for people because it allows you to fulfill your cravings. A sustainable diet is one that will give you long term results.

    You’ve made it to late afternoon and it’s about time you were eating again, your fourth meal for the day. What is it? A cup of rice, green vegetables, and a grilled chicken breast? Sounds a bit boring doesn’t it and it becomes even more so when every meal of every day follows the same old bland routine. It’s easy to see why people fall off of diets that they start with the best intentions.

    They are either boring and bland or contain so few calories and restrict you so much that you are constantly hungry. That’s where flexible dieting comes into play. Otherwise known as IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros), flexible dieting has taken the bodybuilding world by storm, but you don’t need to be a bodybuilder to take advantage of the huge benefits that IIFYM can provide. It is based firmly on the principle of “Calories in, Calories out” and that means, if you do it right, no matter what your food choices you will not gain weight so long as you are reasonably sensible and you do not exceed your caloric requirement for the day.

    If you are into fitness as well, then IIFYM goes even further by dealing in macronutrients needed to burn fat and build muscle.

    Flexible Dieting & IIFYM is still unknown to a large population of people, but once you discover it, It will change your life! IIFYM is a simple diet that will guarantee you results, whether it is weight loss or putting on muscle.

      Flexible Dieting & IIFYM - Dexter Jackson

      Introduction

      You’ve made it to late afternoon and it’s about time you were eating again, your fourth meal for the day. What is it? A cup of rice, green vegetables, and a grilled chicken breast? Sounds a bit boring doesn’t it and it becomes even more so when every meal of every day follows the same old bland routine. It’s easy to see why people fall off of diets that they start with the best intentions. They are either boring and bland or contain so few calories and restrict you so much that you are constantly hungry.

      That’s where flexible dieting comes into play. Otherwise known as IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros), flexible dieting has taken the bodybuilding world by storm, but you don’t need to be a bodybuilder to take advantage of the huge benefits that IIFYM can provide. It is based firmly on the principle of Calories in, Calories out and that means, if you do it right, no matter what your food choices you will not gain weight so long as you are reasonably sensible and you do not exceed your caloric requirement for the day. If you are into fitness as well, then IIFYM goes even further by dealing in macronutrients needed to burn fat and build muscle.

      Hooray! That means ice cream, burgers and pizza can go back on your plate! However, although IIFYM does mean you can relax your dieting standards, there is still a lot you need to know before you hit the freezer for that pizza-with-everything. You have to know all about macronutrients and how to calculate your daily requirements based on many things, including caloric needs. You will need to get into the habit of writing down every single piece of food that passes your lips, at least when you start out, because if you are slapdash about portion sizes, IIFYM is not going to work for you.

      To the uninitiated, health and body composition are two separate things. You might look like a healthy specimen of the human race but it does not mean that you are healthy. The one thing many people have to understand is that health is more than just a good pair of biceps and six-pack abs. The concept of IIFYM might seem unhealthy on the face of it but that isn’t especially the case. If you do this correctly, this way of life will provide every nutritional requirement of a healthy and balanced diet first and then you can add in a bit of the junk food. In all honesty, once you have got the gist of tracking every gram of fat, protein, and carbohydrate that you eat, then a bit of junk really isn’t going to have too much of an effect on your body composition.

      Interested? Want to give IIFYM a go and see if it can bring you into shape, up to health, and down a dress size or two? Then dig in. I’m going to explain IIFYM to you, how it works and how to calculate your own macros. From there, you can work out for yourself what you can and can’t eat and how much of it.

      Chapter 1: What is IIFYM?

      Well, in short, flexible dieting doesn’t look at foods the same way many other diets do. Rather, it looks at three primary aspects: Protein, carbohydrates, and fat. These three major components of food—also known as macronutrients—affect your weight and its loss and/or gain a relatively high amount. These three macronutrients, or Macros for short, are essentially the foods that give us energy to last us throughout a day or even a workout routine.

      Essentially, the idea of Flexible Dieting revolves around the food you eat fitting into your daily amount of these macronutrients. An easy way to remember the diet type, or even the one basic rule of Flexible Diet, can be found in the acronym on the digital cover of this book: IIFYM.

      IIFYM stands for If It Fits Your Macros and explains to a tee what the diet is all about. Each day, you’re allowed to eat so much of these three macronutrients. According to Flexible Dieting or If It Fits Your Macros eating habits, if you eat these three macros to excess, you’ll gain weight. If you limit your intake of protein, carbohydrates, and fat, then you’ll lose weight. The Flexible Diet and If It Fits Your Macros eating habits do not regard other nutrients nearly as much as a majority of diets out there, so you really only need to keep track of three things (and exercise). Pretty easy, right?

      In other words, If It Fits Your Macros or IIFYM is a way of life that lets you eat a more relaxed diet, provided you meet your daily macro
