Thursday July, 8 2010 Zone Pyramid



Ignore that old food pyramid. This one is more accurate. So now that we have some workouts to do during the week we want to be sure that we don't waist that 45 mins we spent sweating and working hard by eating CACA!

Here is a simple way to break it down. Eat real food, stuff that is Perishable. Mainly A ton of veggies some Fruit, lean meats, and Nuts. Each meal should consist of about 30% Protein(meat), 40% Carbohydrates(veggies and fruit) & 30% Fat(Nuts , Olive oil, avocado etc.) I know how though it is to stick to a strict eating regimen, so give yourself 2 or 3 cheat meals a week.

There are 24 days left in the month of July. I want to propose a 24 day eating challenge. I challenge everyone, including myself, to eat as close to the zone as you can for the rest of the month. You have to detach the emotion you get from food and think of it as fuel for your machine.

I have posted links to the zone website there is a calculator on the site that will help you figure your meal portion. The site also provides info about Zone, and good info on food and recipes. Also ask me any questions you have.

Lets get our Zone on!
