In addition to being a very efficient form of training all by itself, CrossFit also places great emphasis on healthy eating habits.

If you don’t have the diet down, the benefits you receive from training will be diminished.

And it isn’t only a matter of taking in the number of calories you need in order to cover your daily needs and those of your training. The quality of the foods you eat and the macronutrient distribution of the foods you eat are also very important.

Since its origins, CrossFit has recommended two different diets that have helped countless CrossFitters improve not only their workouts but also their appearance.

In this first part, we’ll talk about The Zone Diet.

This diet consists on balancing the three macronutrients – proteins, carbohydrates and fats – in specific proportions for each and every meal.

This helps the body use its stored fat as an energy source. But there are other important health-associated benefits that are  achieved as well.

In the Zone Diet, you are allowed to eat any type of food in predefined quantities, but the better the quality of the food, the better the results. To avoid confusion, the Zone Diet has a list of favorable, less favorable and least favorable foods.

The main objective of combining macronutrients in specific proportions is to control the release of insulin in the body, which is the cause of numerous ailments including obesity, hypertension and heart disease.
