Your split is certainly fine, especially if you feel good (Zoned). You may want to consider taking one out of your 9am and putting it into your wake up or post W/O.


Well, actually I am in such a rush showering in the gym then driving a half hour to work, it's difficult to get just ONE block in after my workout.

But you are right. I was actually considering taking TWO blocks post workout THREE blocks around 9am, and cutting my lunch from 3 to 2 instead. Lately I feel like my lunches are too big to begin w/. I am not that hungry around that hour.

Are you continuing to lose with this schedule? I would caution on reducing your blocks.


No, I would never lower blocks. My boyfriend keeps trying to do that b/c he wants to lose faster and I tell him not too, especially if he wants to build muscle. MEN!

[/QUOTE] Are you currently doing the 1-1-1 ratio? It may be time for you to do some tweaking. By that I mean, dropping a carb and replacing the calories with fat. If you're unclear on how to do that, let me know. Knowing you tho, you've probably done the research on how to do it. [/QUOTE]

Well, here's the truth. For the past few weeks since we got back from vacation, we have been on again/ off again in the Zone. This week I am having problems b/c of the HUGE carb hang over I have from pigging out over the 4th holiday.

I usually do well, or at least WAS DOING WELL in the past using the 1:1:1. I will stick w/ it for at least 4-6 weeks. THEN (thank you very much for reminding me!) I will try to tweak it w/ one less carb block and replacing it w/ a fat block instead. So this will really help me lose faster eh? I have read it, just never tried it. Do you do this as well?

Thanks again ZC!
