There are so many diets out there — Keto, Atkins, Paleo, Carnivore — it’s no wonder people feel confused about what’s best. But here’s the thing: most of these diets eliminate foods, while tracking macros teaches you how to balance them.
Let’s break it down 👇
🍞 Atkins – One of the original low-carb diets. It limits carbs (especially early on) to push your body to burn fat for fuel. It can help with quick weight loss, but it’s often hard to sustain long-term because it restricts many carb sources your body still needs for energy and recovery.
🥑 Keto – Similar to Atkins but even stricter. The goal is to stay in ketosis (where your body uses fat as its main energy source). It can reduce cravings and support fat loss for some people — but it’s highly restrictive and tough to maintain if you enjoy flexibility or performance-based training.
🍠 Paleo – Based on “eating like our ancestors.” It removes processed foods, grains, dairy, and legumes — focusing on meats, veggies, fruits, nuts, and healthy fats. It’s a cleaner approach, but still eliminates whole food groups your body can thrive on.
🥩 Carnivore – The most extreme version of low-carb eating. It’s all animal-based — meat, fish, eggs, and little else. While it can simplify food choices, it completely removes fiber and plant-based nutrients that are vital for gut health and long-term wellness.
⚖️ Macros (Flexible Dieting) – Instead of cutting out foods, you learn the right balance of protein, carbs, and fats for your body, your goals, and your lifestyle. You can fit in your favorite foods, enjoy social meals, and still see results — because it’s about understanding nutrition, not avoiding it.
When you track macros, you build awareness, confidence, and food freedom — no “on” or “off” the diet… just balance that lasts. 💪
