Macros Made Simple

You’ve been eating healthy for months and the scale still won’t move. Here’s why.

Macros Made Simple is a 50-page, step-by-step guide that shows you exactly how much to eat for your body and your goal, how to track it without losing your mind, and how to keep eating the foods you love while you do it.

I’m Natasha, and I spent years yo-yo dieting and struggling with binge eating before I lost 75 pounds and kept them off for over 15 years, even through a pregnancy. What finally worked wasn’t eating less or doing more cardio, it was learning how much my body actually needed and where those calories were coming from, and I’ve since taught that same system to more than 6,000 women, so I put all of it in one place for you.

This is for you if

You’ve been “doing everything right” and still aren’t seeing results, if you’re tired of guessing, or if you want a plan that doesn’t ask you to give up pasta. It’s not a meal plan or a quick fix, it’s the one thing you need to understand before any plan will work for you, and it’s written for beginners, with no nutrition degree needed.

FAQ

Do I have to track forever?
Nope, and I’d be a little worried if you wanted to. Most women track for a stretch while they’re working toward a specific goal, and then they move toward eating more intuitively, because tracking is what teaches you what your body needs in the first place. The guide walks you through how to make that shift when you’re ready.

I’m a total beginner, is this too much?
It’s written for you, friend. Everything starts with what macros are in plain English, then walks you through the math step by step with a worked example, and there’s a fill-in page so you can do your own numbers right in the guide. I even tell you not to weigh your food for the first few days, so you can learn it in stages instead of all at once.

Is this a meal plan?
Not exactly, and I think that’s the point. A meal plan tells you what to eat on Tuesday, but this teaches you how much your body needs and how to build meals around it, so it still works when your week falls apart. There are 15 recipes you can use as a starting point.

Do I need a food scale or a special app?
No scale on day one. The guide starts with measuring cups and what’s on the label, then adds a scale once you’re comfortable. For tracking, I use MyFitnessPal, but pen and paper works too, and there are printable trackers included.

Do I have to give up foods I love?
No. The guide shows you how to fit them in, including eating out and having a drink now and then, instead of cutting them out.

How fast will I see results?
I’d rather be honest than promise a number. The guide tells you to give your starting numbers about four weeks, and it explains why the scale jumps around and what to check before you change anything. Results vary from person to person.

Is this medical advice?
No. I’m not a doctor or a registered dietitian, and the guide says so. Check with your doctor before starting any new diet or exercise program, especially if you have a health condition.
