Case Study: Paris Demers
After dedicating time to mastering different styles of lifting, Paris decided he would stop guessing and finally conquer his nutrition. With MacroFactor as his guide, he found a system that made it easy to simply focus on the results.
Paris is a 27-year-old content creator and personal trainer with over 200,000 YouTube subscribers. After more than a decade of training, he’s put in some serious time under the bar, dabbling in everything from powerlifting to Olympic lifting to bodybuilding. But despite his experience, a few rough injuries and confusing nutrition kept him from hitting his goals.
“After three rough injuries from ego lifting and playing rugby in my youth, my training goals have shifted,” Paris said. “Now, it’s all about looking good, feeling good, and staying healthy.”

New Article: Can We Spot Reduce Body Fat?
Spot reduction is usually written off as a myth in health and fitness circles but there is still no shortage of products claiming to help you with spot reduction and to “melt fat away.” Is there a middle ground between myths and truth? I am not asking to be provocative, but to raise a genuine question: What is actually possible in our physiology regarding spot reduction? It’s a topic I’ve always found interesting. Worst-case scenario, you might learn a little more about how we move fat around within our bodies.

Success Story: Frannie Tripp
Frannie Tripp, a Chief Petty Officer in the U.S. Navy, had no problem pushing hard and testing her limits. However, she kept running into the same problem: determining how hard to train and how much to restrict. MacroFactor helped her solve that puzzle. When asked why she decided to try MacroFactor, she said:
“I saw someone talking about it and thought, ‘Okay, I wanna try this,’ especially since it had a coached option. I was iffy at first, but after a few months, I realized I had definitely been overtraining and under-eating, and that’s why it was hard for me to reach my goals. I just wanted to get my metabolism back in gear, stop under-eating, drop some body fat, and just feel overall healthier.”

Success Story: Mathew Blackwell
Mathew is a 41-year-old natural bodybuilder from the UK who has been trying to get healthier and fitter since facing a few health problems. When asked why he decided to use MacroFactor, he said:
“Before Macrofactor, I was using Samsung Health to track my calories as I found it much easier than MyFitnessPal, but Samsung Health only tracks weight and calories, so it was very basic. I found trying to hit weight targets very challenging, and I really wanted something as close to coaching as possible since I couldn’t afford a PT.”
