One of my two goals this year is to get my diet dialed in (the other is to follow the CrossFit main site WOD and stay 3 on 1 off without exceptions). I asked Robb Wolf for some advice. Here's what he told me -
Stay at 10 blocks of Protein
Keep the 10 fat blocks and then add 3 extra blocks for each of the 5 carb blocks I took away (15) for a total of 25.
Cut my Carb Blocks in half (5) and have 3-4 of them post WOD.
Here's what my diet will look like:
Breakfast:
2 blocks Protein
5 blocks Fat
0 blocks Carb
Snack:
1 block Protein
5 blocks Fat
0 blocks Carb
Lunch:
2 blocks Protein
5 blocks Fat
0 blocks Carb
Dinner:
1 block Protein
10 blocks Fat
1 block Carb
Post Workout:
4 blocks Protein
0 blocks Fat
4 blocks Carbs
About Me
- AllisonNYC
- I'm nice, I don't drink, smoke or do drugs, I read a lot, I work out more. I love my family, especially my baby brother EthanBoo. I'm obsessed with all things Crossfit and becoming the best trainer I can be. I love to travel and meet new people but the ones who know me best often call me a laid back hermit. I like to hang with CrossFitters in the gym and with my family.. aside from that I pretty much stick to myself. I know I should put together a CrossFit FAQ because 80% of the e-mails CrossFitters send me ask the same few questions. But I still love writing with people who share my love of fitness. I'm proud of my 154# Clean but frustrated by my weak ring dips. I'm trying so hard to fall in love with running or at least get better at it. I'm improving slowly but surely. I'm going to start focusing on training outside of my comfort zone and attacking my weaknesses even though doing things I'm good at is so much more fun. ;)

Good luck! I am trying to be really strict Zone for 8 weeks - with 3 on 1 off at Crossfit. :) Happy 2009!
Good Luck, Kim.
I'm rooting for you! I bt after 8 weeks you'll be hooked. :)
Happy New Year to you too!
You're having a block party (corny, I know)! But isn't the whole thing about Zone to keep the blocks of C, P, F equal throughout the meals?
Yes it is MJ, other than maybe fat going uo as high as 5x.
Adjust that, girl. Sluggishness with come from your lack of carbs.
General "rule" being, for every 1 block of carb decreased, add 3 fat.
When you want help resetting it, lert me know, you know where I am, and I will be happy to help. Remember to listen to your body, THAT is the true determining factor of what we should be on for blocks. Yes yes, 180 lb, 6'1 male, with a fitness level of x should be on........bullshit! great to start out with, but as Wolfe says
"The three most important peices to zoning are this: How you FEEL, how you LOOK, and whta you performance is..." Performance doesn't mean soley in a fran, or grace or one of the other 20 minutes a day we spend working out, it is performnace in life, the other 23 hours and 40 minutes of our existence each day.
Been zoning hardcore for 33 days, have gained 3 lbs, and lost 4% bf, butting me at 183lbs, 6'1, and 6.2%. Manipulation is key...
