Nutrition

Ok I'm a pretty big condoner of eating right to feel well and for better preformance, but I don't really like one certain diet over anther. I have been using the zone for the past 8 months I like it but while I'm on this program I don't think that I will continue to use.

The reason why is I find that for shorter and more intense workouts the zone is great, but for longer workouts over 40 mins I need more carbs than what the zone diet recomends. They use a 40/30/30 with carbs/fats/protein I'm going to use a 50/20/30 aproach as that seems to work best for me.

As far as what kinda a foods I just say if you look at the ingredent list an can't pronounce a word, don't eat it. The best thing for me that I have found is lit fat before an after a workout. It seems with me at least that to much fat seems to slow down the digestion of carbs that I need for a workout.

The other most important thing even more than food is water, especially during the summer. Just today I ran I five miler an it was terrible because of the hummidity and had to keep slowing down to drink. So needless to say ill be drinking a lot of this probly a gallon a day.
