zoning

i tend to get a little carried away when i read something new that excites me.

last year i read skinny bitch and was convinced that all livestock was treated horribly and that my body was really not meant to tolerate meat or dairy. or sugar. or fake sugar. or caffeine. or anything. breathing was even risky. i tried it. not for me.

i have recently become interested in a training program that is gaining in popularity. it is called crossfit. i was surprised to see that this particular regimen advocated following the zone diet. the only mental reference i could make was that i once remember reading that jennifer aniston followed this eating plan. not a lot of info. hello amazon. two weeks later i have all my reading material.

for the last couple days i have immersed myself in all of dr. sears claims about hormonal balance and our diets role in this.

i am so sold.

sign me up.

i will for two weeks follow a very strict zone favorable diet to see if the claims will ring true for me. i will be following a strict 40:30:30 carb to protein to fat diet. i will not cheat. nope

i should be able to perform better athletically and lose some of that excess body fat that's hanging around. can i expect miracles like the book would let me hope for? can i get my marathon under four hours???

i am going to try and blog daily-ish to report on just how easy or difficult this is and how it is affecting my overall feeling of health.

i am so excited.

see you in the zone...
