Hopefully by now most of you have made a few changes here and there to your regular diet. If you really want to start seeing and feeling changes, check out issue 21 of the CrossFit Journal. It does a great job breaking down the Zone diet into easy to follow meal blocks.
The journal recommends that for a minimum of 1 week, you weigh EVERYTHING. After doing so, you will have a much better gauge as to portion size when eating out, etc.
I once heard someone recommend to think of food as fuel for your body. You don't pump too much gas into your car when filling up, nor do you drive your car around all day on empty. Zone blocks will help you fuel up your body properly for ultimate performance.
So who's up for the 1 week weigh challenge?
Since I ate like crap, well tried to eat good but failed during this vacation I am back to the grind starting tonight when I return home. Off to Caputo's I will go to get things that only live on the outside of the market not in the aisles. :) Lean meats, veggies, some fruits, nuts, some dairy, no sugar and no process/refined carbs... I have a scale and yes I will take you up on the challenge of weighing everything.
ReplyDeleteWhat scales would you guys recommend? I was looking at BB&Beyond and they have a bunch! Any suggestions?

Okay people. Where is the diet dialogue here? I have questions! Norberto, 3 oz lunch meat is like 2.5 slices.
ReplyDeleteWhat if I get hungry later? Can I do a bonus balanced 1 block snack? Can I do a 3-3-1-4-1 plan? I don't need 4 blocks for each meal but sometimes I get hungry! Thoughts?
