This page takes a closer look at the dieting method If It Fits Your Macros (IIFYM). This is the method that Lean Without Eating Clean is based on. Using the IIFYM diet approach means you can eat any foods you like, as long as it fits in your daily caloric and macronutrient (protein, carbohydrates, and fat) targets.
The approach can be used for both losing fat and building muscle. It basically focuses on the caloric and macronutrient content of foods and how they impact your body composition goals. The reason this idea is practical is because gaining or losing weight is not about the types of foods you consume, rather the number of calories you are consuming. Therefore, as long as calorie intake is at the required level and macronutrient targets are hit, you can achieve your fat loss goals with IIFYM.
But It's Not A Free Pass For Eating Junk
But don't get the wrong idea. IIFYM is not the diet method that welcomes unhealthy eating for getting in shape. You still have to take your body's health into consideration when using an IIFYM program like Lean Without Eating Clean. It doesn't mean that you should go to KFC everyday and live on fries, chicken and soda just because it fits your daily macros.
As you know, it’s always important to plan your diet around healthy, nourishing foods even when your goal is mainly body composition related. If you are assuming that all IIFYM plans allows filling your body with crap calories and macros, this is absurd. However, an IIFYM eating plan will make it easier to plan your diet around foods you love and enjoy that may not be nutritious such as ice ream and chocolate without it being a problem.
The Benefits IIFYM Dieting
The biggest benefit of an IIFYM plan is that it will be easier to stick to your diet while getting lean. You'll have a wide option of food to choice from, without banned or restricted foods. Keep in mind that eating clean don't make you lose weight. And eating junk foods don't make you gain weight. The main factor that causes weight gain and weight loss is calories. Calories out vs calories in. If you burn more calories that you consume you'll lose weight, and if you consume more calories than you burn you'll gain weight irrespective of the types of foods that you eat.
Lean without Eating Clean will show you how to plan your diet and aim to hit your calories and macros every day without obsessing over eating clean. It will also show you how to include nutrient dense foods in your diet to make sure that you maintain good health.
