Hello, welcome back to another episode of Empowered Radio.

Thank you guys for tuning in on this Friday or whatever day you're listening.

I appreciate you being here.

Today, we are going to dive into the four phases of macro counting.

I know I've talked a lot about maintenance the last couple

weeks and really talked about how it is super important to be at maintenance before you start a

dieting phase, but then you're also going back to maintenance at the end of a dieting phase.

So really looking at maintenance as your home, where you live most of the time. So I wanted to

break down the different phases of macro counting and then walk you through a scenario where if I had

20 pounds to lose, really what that would look like for me, how I would phase that out using

these different phases.

So you guys can kind of put yourself if, you know, it's like a high level bird's eye view.

So you can see yourself in that scenario, whether you have 10, 15, 20, 50 pounds to lose,

what that or how that could look for you.

So we're just going to jump right in.

The first one is what it's maintenance, but I really like to look at this as the priming phase.

So this is you getting your body primed and ready and responsive for fat loss.
