Just three days into the spring leaning challenge. Many of you have already come in asking questions. I am more than happy to answer any and all questions you might have especially regarding the Zone which a number of you have opted to do for the challenge. Some tips for a few of the questions I have been asked most recently and most often.

1) Do not worry about the calories. Of your particular block allotment. If you work it out it will most likely not make sense based on anything you have been told in the past. It also might be more than you are used to eating right now.

2) cant figure out the blocks? really its simple just keep at it.  Maybe what you are used to eating just doesn't seem to fit in. like lettuce well it is 8 heads of lettuce a block hope your hungry :). while low GI carbs are good things like lettuce in the quantities we typically eat them in are low enough that they almost be ignored out right. If you tend to pull from the low GI stuff and are finding hard to get it all down go ahead and switch a block or two for some fruit which you typically have to eat in much smaller quantities. or if you find your self super hungry after meal take a look at what your carbs are and maybe switch a bloc out for 1/2-1 cup of low Low GI stuff.

Many of you have already been wondering if you should change or tweek the zone based on what you feel already. First stop and think about that you have been on the diet for 3 days and already you feel different why would change that? Second give it time to see exactly how the zone will affect you every one is different so give it 2 weeks solid with not cheating and see where you are at. Feeling tired all the time well maybe we should up your blocks or even just the fat blocks. Gained weight and performance dropped well are you sure you were following it or was there the business lunch every day that didn't get counted this is where your food journal will really come in handy. Take a look back and see if you can figure out what needs to be changed. However I expect most of you will find yourselves with plenty of new energy and steadily improving performance on the WOD's.
