The Zone Made Simple: Lose Body Fat Fast With This Ridiculously Easy Meal Plan

Simple is good, especially when it comes to your diet. Here is a super simple plan based on Zone Diet principles to help you lose body fat starting today:


one block of protein =

1 oz chicken breast
1 oz canned tuna
1.5 oz ground turkey
1 oz protein powder
1 egg
1/4 cup cottage cheese

one block of carbohydrate =

1/3 cup oatmeal (cooked)
1 cup green beans
1 1/4 cup broccoli
1/2 apple
1 1/3 cup zucchini
1/2 cup blueberries
brown rice 3 tbsp
1/3 sweet potato

one block of fat =

3 almonds
1/2 tsp peanut butter
1 tbsp avocado
1/3 tsp olive oil


For each meal, pick one food from each category. The amount of food that you eat will depend on your size:

(small - 150 and under) 10 blocks a day = five meals, two blocks each
(medium - 150-175) 12 blocks a day = three block breakfast, lunch, and dinner, two two block snacks
(large - 175+) 14 blocks a day = three four block meals, one two block snack


Here's a sample two block meal - contains two blocks each of protein, carbohydrate, and fat:

2 oz chicken breast
2 cups green beans
2/3 tsp olive oil

• There are a lot of possible combinations of foods you can come up with. Just keep it simple!

• Drink at least 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water per day.

• Also make sure to weigh and measure your food. This is very important and critical to success.

I lost almost seventy pounds in under six months with a diet plan very similar to this - give it a try for 30 days and see how it works for you. If you'd like to learn more about the Zone Diet, check out the book on amazon here. Good luck!
