What is Power Flex?

Power Flex is the maintenance phase you've earned after completing Power Keto (metabolic reset) and Power Play (active fat loss). It's not permission to slack—it's permission to flex. Your metabolism now works with you, not against you.

Power Keto

Defensive: Fix the insulin signal

60% 30% 10%

Power Play

Offensive: Eliminate energy toxicity

35% 45% 20%

Power Flex

Balance: Sustainable, flexible, earned

35% 30% 35%

The Macro Framework

Your carbs flex with your activity level. The more you move, the more carbs you earn. Protein stays anchored for maintenance.

Activity Level Fat Protein Carbs
Sedentary 40% 30% 30%
Active (3-5 days/week) 35% 30% 35%
High Intensity (6+ days) 30% 30% 40%

Key Principles

  • Protein anchored at 30% — Maintenance mode, not deficit
  • Carbs flex with activity — 30-40% based on output
  • Fat fills the rest — 30-40% for satiety and hormones
  • Match carbs to what you burn — Training earns carbs
