The CrossFit Dietary Prescription:
Finely tuned, a good diet will increase health, energy and sense of well being while reducing fat, packing on muscle and optimizing physical performance. Diet is critical to optimizing human function and CrossFit believes that Barry Sears’ “Zone Diet” closely models optimal nutrition. CrossFit’s best performers are on the Zone diet. The Zone diet accelerates and amplifies the effects of the CrossFit regimen. (The information that follows on the Zone Diet is taken from the CrossFit Journal issue 21, May 2004 and Barry Sears’ Zone books.)
