Warning, it's a little ridiculous… but we had fun! Enjoy! :P

Here's a little GYM version of Sam Smith's "Not The Only One"/"Stay With Me"
Share with yo swolemate. <3

Happy Halloween! Please enjoy this ridiculous video. <3

"FOOD" IIFYM Version - Rude Magic! Cover/Parody
I know I'm the biggest dork ever. Enjoy. 

And a little disclaimer -- I do not have anything against steady state cardio, unless you're doing 3 hours or something crazy every single day. The words just fit well at that part of the song ;P!

I also wanted to give you guys a quick review on the Reverse Dieting book by Sohee Lee and Dr. Layne Norton. It is SO worth it. Seriously, if reverse dieting is a relatively new concept to you and you want a super legit comprehensive DIY guide, you need this book. It really covers just about every situation possible in the FAQ section, has a ton of "case studies"--or examples of clients with specific data listed for each one. So yes, from someone whose blog is ALL ABOUT REVERSE DIETING and made a DIY guide of my own a few months ago ("metab rehab")… this book covers ALL the bases. I'm not getting paid to say this (or anything ever, by the way). I just personally highly recommend it. It will change your life. Here's the link to get your hands on it:

Much love!

Sometime in the next few weeks, I will begin a mini-cut, as described in this VLog to get rid of a little fluffiness… then I'll go back into the reverse. Of course, I will baseline again before reversing because I know that a cut will decrease my metabolic rate somewhat. 

WE GETTING FANCY!! :P

As you can see, this week I gained 1.5 lbs, so I am going to keep my macros the same this week. Not sure what's up with the body fat percent decrease, but I'll take it!

If you follow my IG at all, you know I am on a random MUFFIN KICK right now! So I'll be posting a few of those recipes this week: 1)  pumpkin/marshmallow/white chocolate and 2) almond chocolate chip! So check back in a few days for those :)!

Much love,

In honor of HITTING MY MAJOR GOAL OF 1600 CALORIES today… I am launching The Macro Experiment YouTube Channel and first VLog!! :)

Please support me by liking, subscribing, and sharing this information. My goal is to help as many people as possible to do what I did! 

So… I originally had a goal of reaching 1600 calories by Nov/Dec. It is September 3, 2014 and I'm at 1600! Let's see how much more I can eat without gaining weight! I like this game. ;)

Lot's of exciting stuff is coming up! Along with the new YouTube channel, I thought it would be neat to do an interview series on the blog! I will be interviewing some of the people who have inspired me the most since the beginning of my fitness "journey"! Stay tuned! 

Also -- some big news on the subject of Reverse Dieting! Dr. Layne Norton and Sohee Lee are coming out with a book on Reverse Dieting soon! I am so stoked! I will definitely be posting a link whenever it's available! :)
