Introduction to the Zone

Think better: maintain stable blood sugar levels

Perform better: increase oxygen transfer to your muscle cells

Look better: shed excess body fat at a quick rate

hunger satisfied: your brain is constantly supplied with its primary fuel, blood sugar

The Zone is this: scientifically balanced portions of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Dr. Barry Sears, Ph.D. wrote a brilliant book called Mastering The Zone. You may have heard about it because it's been around for quite a while. This book is great, especially for diabetics as portions control insulin levels. What is even greater, you have a built in network of friends right here at Hoosier CrossFit to help you stay healthy day in and day out!

Most importantly, your healthy eating highway won't end with the Zone. You will realize that the Zone has scientific evidence against pasta, bread, and grains in general, yet, condones unfavorable carbs in small doses. This is primarily because as a society, we are too spoiled addicted, and ignorant to stop eating it. It's integral that we kick today's cravings to the curb, and eat for the purpose of filling us up, not for emotional gratification. Within some months from now, I will transition your habits to support a Paleolithic lifestyle, a hunter-gatherer lifestyle in which you will eat primarily Meat and veggies, nuts and seeds, some fruit, no sugar and no salt.
