Granted, it#39;s#0160;most likely from an already very fit male who has#0160;been CrossFitting for years. But it should make you#0160;feel good about#0160;the general idea of the Zone and why you#39;re doing it. Robb#39;s response is at the bottom./p pstrongemRobb - My experience is that, if you stick to the basic Paleolithic diet of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds, it doesn’t really matter that much what proportion of each you consume. Once you have tossed out grains and beans and dairy and all processed foods you can just let your body guide you. /em/strong/p pemstrongAnytime we try to count carbs or calories or any other dietary component we stress ourselves and add complexity. Easier is to toss out the foodstuffs of modern civilization and then try to eat a mix of high quality food that is as similar as possible to the foods our bodies evolved on./strong hr size=-2 width=75% / /em p/p pstrongemBinko- I totally agree. Adopting a basic paleo diet will give one 90-95% of all the benefits any protocol will ever provide…not fuss, no muss./embr //strong/p pRobb also wrote a great article called quot;42 Ways to Skin the Zone.quot; It#39;s all about how to mke the Zone work for you.br /a href=http://www.cathletics.com/pm/subscribers/download.php?issueNumber=30http://www.cathletics.com/pm/subscribers/download.php?issueNumber=30/abr /You#39;ll probably have to jump through some hoops to get it, or pay $2.50 ;(.#0160;Anyone know how to get a copy (or excerpts of it) for free??#0160;/p/p
