Now we’re in the best shape of our lives. We still have treats, we haven’t given up the foods we love, and we definitely don’t starve ourselves! With macros, it’s all about balance. So, I started to focus my love of recipe creation on easy, delicious, macro-friendly recipes that my whole family would enjoy.Īnd voila, we started to see real results and best of all we didn’t feel deprived! Combined, we’ve lost over 100 pounds! Now, we feel great. It was either flavorless, plain chicken and veggies, heaps of cottage cheese, and TONS of egg whites OR going back to the cream of chicken soup-type recipes that got us into this mess. Finally, a lifestyle change we could stick to and get results without feeling totally deprived.īut as we got started, there was a problem: it was almost impossible to find good macro-friendly recipes. It allows you to eat anything you want that you can fit into your macro goals. Tracking “macros is a way of measuring your nutrition by macronutrients (protein, carbs, and fat). One day, we discovered “macros” and it changed our lives. We’d essentially starve ourselves (or cut out an entire food group), do a ton of cardio, lose a little weight, hit our mental & physical limit and put all of the weight back on. We tried just about every type of diet out there, and we got trapped in the “yo-yo diet” cycle.

Until, about 7 years ago we decided it was time to take control of our health. It became difficult to do some of the things we loved to do and it kept us from being as active with our kids as we wanted to be. Before long, my husband and I didn’t even recognize ourselves, and worst of all, we just didn’t feel well. Food also became a form of “self medication” to deal with the stresses of every day life. Most of the recipes I had created were focused on what I could quickly throw in a Crock-Pot, with almost no thought for nutrition. During that time I developed a pretty unhealthy relationship with food. I spent 10 years building one of the most popular food blogs on the internet. Hi, I’m Elyse! I’m a mom of four, a wife, a Diet Coke fanatic, and I LOVE food.
