THE
EVERYTHING
GUIDE TO MACRONUTRIENTS
Dear Reader,
The world of nutrition is a tricky, deceiving, and downright confusing place. A quick search on the Internet or trip to the store reveals hundreds of different sources talking about the latest and greatest shortcut, magic pill, or weird trick for fat loss.
When you are looking to lose some weight and feel good about yourself, the number of diet plans youll find is staggering. What is the one thing successful diets have in common? They help you reduce your calories without making you feel miserable. The successful diets are sustainable for life.
My goal with this book is to explain the truth about nutrition once and for all. After reading it, youll know exactly how to eat to look good and remain healthy for the rest of your life. If you take the time to understand these principles and apply them to your individual goals, preferences, and lifestyle, you can get in the best shape of your life.
I truly believe this is the last diet book youll ever need, and I hope you use it well.
To your health,
Welcome to the EVERYTHING Series!

Acknowledgments
Without the support and encouragement of my friends and family as Ive pursued my dreams of becoming a successful writer and fitness coach, this book wouldnt be possible. A special thank-you goes to Maria for putting up with me and always pushing me to keep going when things get tough.
