what is paleo this is actually a really good day for you to have asked me this because I've been thinking about how I wanted to answer this question for a little bit you know traditionally Pele with all about fresh foods vegetables proteins clean proteins clean foods things that you can pick up when walking through a forest you can pick up and eat things that grow naturally I think that we're paleo gets miss kebab y elated is when people you have to put a named everything and so just a name paleo makes people have to watch silly videos like this to find out what cleaned out to food is it makes it kind of mad because it's basically a marketing plot the whole thing about clean food just if it grows naturally you can pick it up and eat it it's not processed it's not man-made it's not fake then it's probably going to be good for your body to eat paleo is all about good clean natural foods the things that we cook at e dalla G or all everything is all good clean natural food for your body what is zone uh the big tour anything right now are macros Gina are you familiar with macros yeah just breakdowns of break down protein carbs and fats not going to trans yes and there are a couple little you know key components to it with a for the most part it's you know you count your macros you capture how much protein how much fat how much carb you have you know typically overlooking a day the thing about the zone which i think is really funny you know in the 90s like counting calories and then there's you know zoning your food and now there's macros but you know this changes the word but like how your body processes food it's not any different and so what's the sense in the zone what the zone is his own is all about portion control it's about taking any type of food and putting it into good portions for your body uh you know back in the 90s they talked about calories they talked about you know more calories a more calories out then after the after the calories they had the zone which really got a popular portion control and it didn't focus on counting so much it talked about of like literal amounts of food portions of food that you could eat already pre portion for you and now with that kind of into the calorie thing back with macros but they at the end of the day I think it's really important to know if zone is and how to do math courage hadn't do calories whichever way you want to do it because it will give you a good a good idea of what you're putting into your body so that you can make tweaks so the idea is if you know exactly what you're putting into your body then whatever results you need you can increase it or decrease it to get the result desired of it that we are looking for and the best resource that i have found would be crossed journals number 21 this is an old journal that i don't even think most crossfitters now exist anymore which makes me so sad but anybody who is looking to learn about portion control whether you're counting macros you're doing zone or calories whether you've ever cross it in your entire life or not this is something that i think that people need to read it is based off of dr. barry sears the zone dr. Barry Sears was a cancer and diabetic research doctor so it is just absolutely a but it is profound for people who are looking to do good clean eating for a health purpose but it's also good just for a lifestyle management bringing a new nutrition management but i would suggest googling this this article across a journal 21 you can also get it off of the e all at your Facebook page but what this guy is going to tell you it's going to tell you why it's important to put things in portions how to build a plate how to build a plate how to eat things they're not heed ology I mean I would love it if people only ever ate my food for the rest of their life but that's not very practical right so anybody know that would also take a lot of pleasure out of food and like Lynn living so ideally uh people need to know how to eat responsibly and this is a great resource to do just that how to build a play on the bed field section of it is going to boom be your block chart this is magic so we're calories are typically broken down you know it per calorie per food this is actually even easier than that so it will tell you a little dis lorica will tell you how many you know what blocking is what serving sizes are but the magic comes where you can literally just look at this little chart and you can find out how much portions you need so you can know you get really hungry for broccoli you get two cups of broccoli / block or maybe a half an apple it's just really easy mode um two halves I would suggest going and taking a look at this now there is one other thing another disclaimer that I would want you guys to know this is not all paleo food the zone is also awesome because you can zone anything in the world you can zone your coffee you can zone beer you can zone chocolate cake you can zone skittles you can also zone things like apples and broccoli but this so the journal 21 is not specifically only paleo foods so you have to shuffle out and think before you pick between your preferable foods and your non preferable foods but it will give you a very good guideline to how to portion all types of food love me some cross a journal to anyone .
