Macros Inc Reviews

"My coach was Shelby and she is absolutely amazing.\r\nNov 2024: 168lbs, size 10\/12\r\nOctober 2025: 138 lbs, size 2\r\n\r\nWe did a deficit for 6 months, then 1 month maintainance, 2 month bulk, and 1 month mini cut.\u00a0 The final pic is at the end of that. I am now back in a bulk for the winter :)\u00a0\r\nBackground:College athlete that now works a demanding desk job with frequent travel.\u00a0 Had 2 c-sections in 19 months, pregnancy kicked my butt (70 lb weight gain with my first, 35 lb weight gain with my second. delivered both babies at 200 lbs). With 2 under 2 and a full life, I knew I needed help with nutrition and sustainable habits because spending hours a day in the gym was not gonna happen.\r\n\r\n\r\nLong version\r\nI signed up for a year of nutrition coaching during the Black Friday sale.\u00a0 I knew I could probably hit my straight fat loss goals with 6 months of extreme dedication but wanted to build confidence navigating a deficit AND maintaining that given the amount of travel and eating out I do.\u00a0 Over the course of the year I ended up eating ~50% of my meals out of the house...I went on monthly work trips where I had to guesstimate caloric intake, had family vacations, kids bithday parties, and still built in time for weekly bakery dates with my croissant obsessed toddler. And I STILL had results.\r\n\r\nWith Shelby, this experience of fat loss was\u00a0COMPLETELY different than the restrictive meal plans and punishing\u00a0two-a-day workouts I did in my 20s.\u00a0 We chatted about my goals, any lifestyle and dietary limitations, and created a plan for my physique that was sustainable and worked for me. \u00a0We adjusted together as we dialed into my preferences (would rather eat a little less than increase my TDEE by walking more! I calorie bank for the weekends!).\r\n\r\nShe was straightforward and offered friendly encouragement every step of the way. \u00a0A big unlock for me was \"you can't put in 80% effort and expect perfect results. \u00a0So choose your hard and create goals that are appropriate for the bandwidth you have right now. \u00a0Be realistic and celebrate all of your work and accomplishments!\" \u00a0That meant we navigated every season of life...weaning from breastfeeding, parenting 2 under 2 with a full time job, job promotions, work travel, family events\/vacations, and everything in between. \u00a0We cut, we maintained, and we bulked!\u00a0 We are currently building lean ripped legs and arms to lift my sweet babies even easier.\u00a0 She was realistic about my options when I started plateauing, and was a great\u00a0partner during the periods when I really wanted to push my limits.\u00a0\r\n\r\nI have full confidence in the skills that we built together and am so grateful that I had Shelby guiding me-- no need to spiral or wonder about the \"best\" way to do anything. \u00a0If I had any doubts or wanted to celebrate she was a quick text away! \u00a0She offered advice, research, tough love, and empathy depending on the problems we tackled together.\r\n\r\nThe results: I am MULTIPLE inches and 30ish pounds of fat lost, thanks to her support! \u00a0Went from a size 12 to a size 2 :)\r\n\r\nNov 2024: 167 lbs \r\nOctober 2025: 138 lbs\r\n\r\nTimeline:\r\nDeficit: 8 months\r\nMaintain: 1 month\r\nMini bulk (10% calorie surplus): 2 months\r\nMini Cut: 1 month\r\n\r\nWorkouts:\r\n\r\nFirst few months I did pelvic floor rehab\u00a0+ physical therapy and walked 9k steps a day. Then worked up to weightlifting 3-4x a week with progressive overload. on \"recovery\" days I did core and mobility work.\u00a0 I average 3-4k steps a day on weekdays, 8k on weekends."

"Lara has been incredible. I\u2019ve always worked out, tried every diet imaginable, and lost weight more times than I can count. Three kids, 50+ hour workweeks, and endless rules from every diet left me constantly restarting every Monday, always \u201con\u201d or \u201coff.\u201d\r\n\r\nI even did macros years ago and lost weight, but without support, I gained it back. So in November 2024, I committed fully and signed up for complete coaching. Twelve months later, I\u2019m down 40 pounds\u2014and I\u2019ve spent half that time maintaining without tracking.\r\n\r\nEven though I\u2019d taken nutrition courses and tried every challenge and gimmick, I still second-guessed everything\u2014carrots, fruit, eating after 6pm. Lara helped quiet all that noise. She gave me simple workouts and adjusted them every time life changed, including when I switched careers after 25 years in the same field. I went from lifting 5 days a week to just 3, and my body looks better than it ever has.\r\n\r\nI didn\u2019t cut out any foods. I just prioritized protein, ate reasonable portions, and slowly let go of old habits\u2014like baking cookies every weekend. Veggies are still a work in progress, but that\u2019s life. I learned I wasn\u2019t \u201cbroken\u201d\u2014I was just eating too much.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest moments was buying a full-length mirror recently and realizing I hadn\u2019t seen my whole body in years. Now I walk past it and actually feel proud. This summer I wore a bikini. I wore shorts comfortably for the first time in forever. I feel at peace in my body.\r\n\r\nLara made that possible. Her support, her weekly check-in videos, and her ability to simplify everything helped me build habits I can keep for life. My journey isn\u2019t over, but for the first time, I feel confident I can maintain this. It\u2019s been small, consistent steps\u2014and they added up to life-changing results."

"I signed up for a nutrition coach with Macros Inc back in July for my 50th birthday. My weight was starting to creep up in spite of being an avid exerciser and lifting weights. I was proof that you can\u2019t out-exercise a bad diet. I had been strength training for a year, yet you couldn\u2019t tell. I wanted to get healthier for myself and as an added benefit, hopefully be able to see the hard work I\u2019d been putting in with lifting weights. I was paired with Coach Colt who has been nothing but supportive of my goals. Having a coach has kept me far more accountable than I was ever able to be on my own. He won\u2019t hesitate to call me out on some of my food choices and offer a perspective that I wouldn\u2019t see on my own. For instance, every time I say \u201cyes\u201d to a splurge food, while it isn\u2019t wrong, I\u2019m also saying \u201cno\u201d to something else, such as reaching my goals as efficiently as I could be. He has helped me to find the balance of living life without spiraling out of control when I have the occasional splurge. I no longer beat myself up the next morning or throw in the towel just because I went over calories for the day. Now I just tell myself that it\u2019s a new day or a new meal, pick myself back up, and get back to doing my best. Colt has been able to answer questions very clearly so that I completely understand what I\u2019m doing now\u2014be it about nutrition or the occasional question I may have about fitness. He is readily available on a daily basis and has helped me to achieve my goals quickly! Since July, I have dropped about 25 pounds. "
