My Food Journal - The Week of January 11th
Workout Schedules | January 10, 2016
Start here if you’re new to the ZGYM and you want a helpful guide on how to modify my personal meal plan for your own personal body type and goals.
Z-Tip: If you’re an Ectomorph (naturally skinny) or Mesomorph (athletic like me) you don’t have to be so strict with carbs. You can have carbs for breakfast as well as after your workout. Check what Body Type do you fall into before you start making changes to your meal plan.
Healthy Evening Snacks you can munch on when you have the familiar cravings for sugary or high caloric treat: herbal tea smoothie, small salad, Kale Chips, Lemon Pepper Artichoke, Sweet Apple Celery Slaw, or mixed berries.
* Remember that you don’t need so much variety. If it’s easier for you to stick to 5 basic meals and you don’t mind to eat them for a week, then go for it. You can have the same breakfast, and same snack every day. You can have the same lunch and dinner 2 days in a row. The options are endless, just make it work for you.

Thank you so much Zuzka for making this all available to us!!! For a healthy evening snack, would you ever have a portion of the Halo Top ice cream that you talked about this past summer? Thank you for all that you do for us!!!

I love these food journal posts that you put up. I had thought you were only going to do this for 5 weeks, and I was like what, no! I do have a question though that I am quite confused on. I am trying to follow your diet and am wondering if you do the ketoginic diet, or just simply low carb, as I am doing more research I feel more overwhelmed, am I suppose to stick to fruits, veggies, protein, and fats? Or have 75% fat moderate protein and some veggies with less than 20 carbs a day? Thank you.

HI! Obvi not Z 🙂 but I don’t think she is doing keto now…just low carb. if you go back to older posts there was a period of time where she was doing straight keto and sharing some of her recipes with us. She also shared a food blog called ‘I breath I’m hungry’ that has a bizzilion keto and low carb recipes, and also a few meal plans for getting started with keto if you are interested. Good luck!

Oh my gosh thank you so much for taking your time to reply. I am also wondering about the fat intake, on low carb, how much less am I suppoe to be taking than keto. If you know, lol. Thanks again.

I think zuz has a coffee talk or a vlog on here somewhere that talks about equations for losing/maintaining/gaining weight. It’s also in her book.

Are these journals deleted after updating the new one? Some how I can’t find previous posts?
