I spend most of the weekend proving to myself what I already know and have known for well over a decade. Eating like sh*t makes me feel like sh*t!! Friends in town on Friday, (who can resist truffle fries from Rockit?); Atlas anniversary party on Saturday (tequila and celebration cake); and a chili-cookoff at Jay and Rachel's on Sunday (Chris's chili placed 2nd!). These are the temptations that we face... everyone faces. It's easy to revert back to a little of this and a little of that…

Here are a few of the quick reference guides I kept and still keep at my finger tips. These will help give you an idea of how to make blocks out of the foods you already eat and balance each meal/snack. It may seem like a lot at first but you will figure out the measurements for the foods you regularly eat and you won't need to depend on these for long. They are great to keep handy in case you have to grab a meal on the go and don't know how a food blocks out. I keep these saved in my camera…

So, this is kind of putting the cart before the horse, because I have not yet had a chance to finish my post explaining Zone Blocks, portions, meals and snacks! But...I have had several people ask about snack options so I am getting a few out there! In short, Zone blocks are 91 calorie servings of strategically balanced protein to carbs to fat. A snack is usually 2 blocks of each. So...approximately 180 calories, give or take a tiny bit depending on what protein you are including. Obviously…

I have recently been learning about the Zone Diet, and thought I'd share my takeaways with you. Like the Paleo lifestyle, it advocates "real food" - lean protein, veggies, fruits and nuts. But unlike the Paleo Diet, it has a little bit more of a definition on how much of everything you should be eating. Check out my post and see if the Zone Diet is for you!
