Nutrition: November 2007 Archives

Here is a sacred cow that I don't recommend anyone eat. Juice, wile it
does have some positive nutritional content is a hyper-concentrated
form of sugar. not only is it very high GI, but any liquid food, due to
having such a large surface area will be rapidly absorbed into the
digestive tract. This combination is a one-two punch to the pancreas
resulting a massive spike in blood sugar. In addition, all of the fiber
is stripped out in the juicing process.

Much more Zone and food info at my Zone Blog

Nothing will contribute more to the development of increased athleticism than getting into "The Zone". A great resource to find out more is Dr. Barry Sears' Zone Diet

I recommend Muscle Milk 'n' Oats by Cytosport for a quick fix in the morning:

- 4.5 blocks protein
- 3.5 blocks carb
- 4 blocks fat

Add 1/2 an apple and it is zone perfect.

This is not quite as good as steel-cut oats (higher GI) but it takes about 29 minutes less to prepare. It is also expensive, but it is so worth it to start the day conveniently in the Zone.

Get it here: Muscle Milk 'n' Oats for about 1/2 price from Amazon.
