Blue Pill | Zone Diet
When I introduced the Primal diet in the first 30 days, I wanted to hold off on introducing this diet because of the fear people might not want to try the Primal diet if this one was "easier". I say 'easier' in a sense where foods we regularly eat are allowed in moderation and it's not a total sacrifice of flavor, habit, and variety. Truth is, this diet is just as tough, you'll get results faster and exercise is very important with this eating plan.
The Zone Diet was a diet developed by Dr. Barry Sears which works on a protein, carbs and fat ratio 40:30:30 respectively. This specific ratio has helped lots of people lose weight and keep on a healthy mass. The Zone Diet helps reduce silent inflammation that usually happens in your body. There is a ton of information on this diet and I'll make sure to give you resources to see if this is for you. Some say this diet doesn't give a person the appropriate intake of calories, but it's wrong as this diet doesn't recommend an individual to have more or less calories, but instead encourages you to take as much calories as required by the body.
The Zone diet program focuses on the appropriate planning of meal time in order to control the use of your proteins and cabs by our bodies the whole day. The diet plan encourages people to eat at the least three zone meals a day with snacks in between. Another tip is that you should always eat breakfast within an hour of waking up.
By the way, when I say proteins, carbs and fats, I say them as MARCO-nutrients, not proteins as in meats, carbs as in bread, and fats as in junk food. Only healthy carbs such as fresh veggies, fresh fruits and some grains should be chosen. All bad carbs like processed sugars is a NO REP. Healthy fats like from almonds and avocados are great; you need healthy saturated fats.
Technology today makes this diet SO much easier to follow. The world's knowledge is online and you can find easy recipes, diet profilers, substitution finders, and even family meal planning. The following graphics below show the good/bad foods, examples of some recipes and links to great websites that offer a bunch of recipes to get into the game.
