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
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.
