  • A few observations
    • People walk more, work outside more
      • (However, people are not athletes)
    • The quality of the food is much higher
      • They don’t make chicken with half soy like Subway does
      • The ingredients are well made and they don’t add chemicals to everything
    • The portions of grains are smaller, but just as filling!

ZONE DIET

  • This diet is totally outdated
  • Diet is relatively low fat – NOT good for you
    • 40, 30, 30
    • This preaches a decent amount of grains – not good!!!
    • Supposed to be anti-inflammation but will cause inflammation
  • It is better to eat low carb, medium protein, and high fat!
