What are macros/macro nutrients? Macros are types of food components (e.g. fats, proteins, carbohydrates) that are required in large amounts, as opposed to micro nutrients, like vitamins and minerals, that are required in trace amounts for normal growth and development. The general approach to nutrition has been to restrict one particular macro group to achieve weight loss, for instance, the Atkins Diet, which is built around an ultra low-carb approach. While many of these fad diets can show fast results, they are far from sustainable and are potentially dangerous in the long run. There is a reason these nutrients are classified as macros — they are essential in ‘macro’ (large) quantities for your daily bodily functions, and any highly restrictive diet that excludes any class of nutrient is, quite simply, unsafe.
ONP uses your body measurements and activity level to calculate your specific metabolic rate, that is, the amount of energy you personally require based on what your body needs to function at rest, as well as what you expend through activity. This is used to calculate the optimal macro composition for your body and goals, and is presented to you as a set of great meal options that carefully deliver exactly what is best, in the ratio that is appropriate for YOU.
ONP goes beyond the macros. We also look into micro nutrient deficiencies and your protocol will include supplements you can take, as well as natural food sources to combat any deficiencies.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. This is custom-built, just for you.
