Body beast

Let me first start by saying that I love this program. The first time I did body beast was back in 2013 and when I did it back then I did not follow the meal plan and eat the way I should have eaten. I ate clean , and made sure I was eating good and not crappy. Back then I was not as good of an eater as I am today.  But getting back on track, I did not make sure ate good. But doing body beast this time around it is different. Not only am I putting 100% in I am making sure I count my macros. I have come to an understanding that you can count calories but when you are lifting and looking to obtain a certain type of results it is very important to count our macro intake.
Now for those of you who don't understand the whole macro nutrient thing let me briefly explain it.

WHAT ARE MACRONUTRIENTS?
Macronutrients are nutrients that provide calories or energy. Nutrients are substances needed for growth, metabolism, and for other body functions. Since “macro” means large, macronutrients are nutrients needed in large amounts. There are three macronutrients:

• Carbohydrate
• Protein
• Fat

While each of these macronutrients provides calories, the amount of calories that each one provides varies.

Carbohydrate provides 4 calories per gram.

Protein provides 4 calories per gram.

Fat provides 9 calories per gram.

This means that if you looked at the Nutrition Facts label of a product and it said 12 grams of carbohydrate, 0 grams of fat, and 0 grams of protein per serving, you would know that this food has about 48 calories per serving (12 grams carbohydrate multiplied by 4 calories for each gram of carbohydrate = 48 calories).

Besides carbohydrate, protein, and fat the only other substance that provides calories is alcohol. Alcohol provides 7 calories per gram. Alcohol, however, is not a macronutrient because we do not need it for survival.

There is also several macro nutrients calculators online that will help you determine how much of what you need on a daily basis.

I must admit that ever since I stopped counting calories and started counting my macro's my results have been huge. When you count your calories all it does it cut down your meals and not give you specifics of how much and what to eat. You basically eat the amount of calories you need a day and that includes any amount of protein, carbs and fats. But when you count your macro intake you know exactly how much of what you need to bulk or cut(lose weight, but not muscle). That is what I love about macro counting.. And the good part to there are apps that you can download on your phone that will help you keep track of your macro intake. When I first started counting my macros I tried to keep track of it by writing it down and calculating it which was a huge mistake because when you just write it down it does not tell you how much fat you are consuming in that meal or carbs etc so it is better to find an app that will assist you with that for better results. 

I love body beast . It is not just a program for men it is also for women. If you are a woman looking to build some muscles and shape your body give body beast a shot. I know alot of women are under the impression that women who lift get all huge and bulky like men. FALSE!!! The only way you will get bulky is if you work towards becoming bulky and add all sorts of supplements to your diet to get that huge. You will absolutely need supplements to get big.

I take supplements but nothing to make me huge just the basics. I can do pull ups now. All types of pull ups. I lift heavy. I love what this program is doing to me and the results I am accomplishing. Eventually I would love to have abs and that V cut, that is my goal so right now I am tightning up my diet and working towards the goal. As a matter of a fact that is what I will be working towards in 2016. I have to stay focus and have to work hard and not cheat my diet. I will get the results I desire because I am willing to work hard for it. If you have not tried body beast yet, then you should. Not scared to lift, then try body beast.
