Say goodbye to calorie counting with this revolutionary weight-loss method. Macronutrients or 'macros' are the three main nutrient groups your body can't live without: carbohydrates, fats and protein. So many diets focus on calorie counting, but not all calories are created equal: your body doesn't process 20 calories of kale and 20 calories of chocolate in the same way because of their different macro breakdowns. Macro counting is all about balance. By eating the right ratio of carbohydrates, fats and protein, you can lose weight and build muscle in a healthy, sustainable way without avoiding the foods you love. This flexible approach to dieting encourages you to make smart food choices that guarantee results. The Macro Method will tell you everything you need to know about counting macros, including the latest research about how the diet works and its nutritional benefits. The 21-day plan will help you ditch the calorie counting for good, with more than 40 simple recipes to tempt you.

If you do any kind of workout you understand that what you eat defines your success and your body! By now, you know that kitchen scales are your best friend - if not, you will find out very soon... You need to stick to your calories and macros that are in your personal meal plan as much as possible.You also know that prepping your food can be very time-consuming, especially if you are not sure how much you should eat from certain types of food.I know all of this, I have been through the same! I am here to help you!With this book, I am about to save you a lot of time!When I started to do my workout and follow my meal plan, it took me a while to prepare it all correctly so I decided to create a database for myself where I entered all sorts of food and I re-searched all nutrition info for this. I would like to share my tables with you that show calories, carbs, fat, and protein for different types of food, in different amounts. All you need to do is to look at your meal plan, match your macros with the help of this book, and add it all up. This book also contains some tips that helped me a lot, either to save time or save calories, carbs, and fat.Yes, you do need a set of scales! It does not matter what sort of scales they are as long as they are kitchen scales. They all do one thing - measure the amount and weight of your food.Yes, you will still need to do some maths however, the content of this book will help you massively and save you a lot of time. The whole point of following a sustainable macro-based diet is that it's flexible. You can eat oven-baked chicken with rice and carrot for the rest of your life if you wish, but I do not think many people could and would do that. We need variety! And if you calculate your macros, you can create amazing meals all the time. You need to love what you eat, otherwise, it will not be sustainable and you will not get the results you would like to see.This book contains a lot of food with their calories and macros, most starting from as small as 5g to 600g of weight so you do not have to look up nutrition info for each item you want to use and calculate the calories and macros, it will save you a lot of time. Some people like using macro tracking apps and it's great if that works for you, the downsides are: -Many of these apps allow anyone to enter anything, which means it might not be accurate.-If the app was created let's say in the US or Europe, it will be full of American or European products but not so many from anywhere else in the world.-You still need to enter nutrition info if you can not find it on the app.-Many apps will have in-app purchases which means you might not be able to use all options or you can use the app only for a certain amount of time for free.I do not put the success of my hard work in the hands of 'someone' entering the info. I research everything very carefully and to the best of my knowledge, these are the very calculations I use myself. I am also 'old-school' and like to write it down with a pen. It makes me feel good! Psychologically, if you actually write something down on a piece of paper, it is more powerful than some virtual numbers. So I am not an 'app-person' when it comes to macros.In this book, I'll give you some tips on how to save calories, carbs and fat and how to 'make up' if you are not hitting your protein target or consumed too much fat for your lunch. I also left many empty spaces for you where you can write down YOUR favourite food. You can create your favourite breakfasts and meals and easily adjust the recipes you like. By the end of this book you will be able to calculate your macros easily, create your own recipes and you will have 3 breakfasts, 5-10 mains and 3 treats to get you started.I wish you all the best for your lifestyle change and fitness journey

Macro Markets puts forward a unique and authoritative set of detailed proposals for establishing new markets for the management of the biggest economic risks facing society. Our existing financial markets are seen as being inadequate in dealing with such risks and Professor Shiller suggests major new markets as solutions to the problem. Shiller argues that although some risks, such as natural disaster or temporary unemployment, are shared by society, most risks are borne by the individual and standards of living determined by luck. He investigates whether a new technology of markets could make risk-sharing possible, and shows how new contracts could be designed to hedge all manner of risks to the individual's living standards. He proposes new international markets for perpetual claims on national incomes, and on components and aggregates of national incomes, concluding that these markets may well dwarf our stock markets in their activity and significance. He also argues for new liquid international markets for residential and commercial property. Establishing such unprecedented new markets presents some important technical problems which Shiller attempts to solve with proposals for implementing futures markets on perpetual claims on incomes, and for the construction of index numbers for cash settlement of risk management contracts. These new markets could fundamentally alter and diminish international economic fluctuations, and reduce the inequality of incomes around the world.

"CNC programmers and service technicians will find this book a very useful training and reference tool to use in a production environment. Also, it will provide the basis for exploring in great depth the extremely wide and rich field of programming tools that macros truly are."--BOOK JACKET.

Level up your skills by taking advantage of Clojure's powerful macro system. Macros make hard things possible and normal things easy. They can be tricky to use, and this book will help you deftly navigate the terrain. You'll discover how to write straightforward code that avoids duplication and clarifies your intentions. You'll learn how and why to write macros. You'll learn to recognize situations when using a macro would (and wouldn't!) be helpful. And you'll use macros to remove unnecessary code and build new language features. Clojure offers some sharp tools in its toolbox, and one of the sharpest is its macro system. This book will help you write macros using Clojure, and more importantly, recognize when you should be using macros in the first place. The Lisp "code-as-data" philosophy gives tremendous advantages to macro authors and users. You can use macros to evaluate code in other contexts, move computations to compile time, and create beautiful API layers. You don't need to wait on the Clojure language itself to add new features, you'll learn how to implement even the lowest-level features as macros. You'll step through representative samples of how to use macros in production libraries and applications, find clear details on how to construct macros, and learn pointers to avoid obstacles that often trip up macro amateurs. Clojure macros are more straightforward to use than metaprogramming features in many other languages, but they're different enough from normal programming to present challenges of their own. Mastering Clojure Macros examines some of these issues, along with alternatives to macros where they exist. By the time you finish this book, you'll be thinking like a macro professional. What You Need:The book examples have been developed under Clojure 1.6.0, although earlier and later versions of Clojure may work as well. You'll want to use Leiningen 2.x in order to follow along with the examples that use external projects.
