Hi I am new to the forums. I have read through most of the book so far and I really like it. The only exception is the diet. I like a macro breakdown of 40p/30c/30f and not 40c/30p/30f. I am new to lifting and have only been at it for three months lifting heavy 4x a week, HIIT 2x a week (I switched from LISS after reading the book) and eating clean but with my macro breakdown. I'm planning on trying the first routine in the book. There are a lot of of moves in there that I already do but there are a few that are different and I would love to try them to keep things fresh.
I like how the book is straight forward without usage of the word tone, but has anyone else felt like the diet was a little off?

I think everyone's body functions a little differently - some people can handle eating all carbs all day, not me! I get bloated and quickly gain weight. I feel more satisfied and energetic with more protein. I think your macro breakdown is fine - it's not drastically different from what the book suggest. I mean it's not like you are asking if you should eat 60c/20p/20f. You are definitely going to get enough protein on your ratios as long as you eat enough calories. I say go for it!

Well, I eat more like 50P/30F/20C, so you're asking the wrong person!

I think you gotta do what works for your body. Go by how you feel: do you have enough energy? Are you making progress with your training? Are you gaining/losing/maintaining?

I'm a fan of the "Try it and see what works" philosophy of health & fitness.
