- The foundation of fitness is proper nutrition.
If you’ve been to Wine Country CrossFit, you have undoubtedly seen the pyramid that has a permanent place on our whiteboard.
This pyramid shows that nutrition is the base for all of our fitness. If you have read What is Fitness (and you should), you know that Coach Glassman recommends that we eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Taking a step beyond that, we have seen amazing performance gains through people eating those foods in Dr. Barry Sears’ Zone Diet proportions. In other words, we want to be eating those foods in the proportions of 40% Carbohydrate, 30% Protein, and 30% Fat.
With this in mind, I have decided that it is time for me to take the plunge into The Zone. Over the next few weeks, I plan to keep you updated on my performance, how I feel, and my general sentiments on the Zone. So please stay tuned, or join in with me as I dive head first into “The Zone”
