I started the Zone diet

Pretty cool diet. Its goal is to optimize the body's hormonal balances by eating a diet consisting of lean protein / fruits and vegatables / good fats in a 30/40/30 ratio. The book is Enter the Zone by Dr. Sears and its a great read. Its like $5 on amazon.

I'm in the process of changing some things up in my diet. Going to add in more fruit and veggies for some of my carbs. I bought one of those single drink blenders which is awesome to throw some frozen fruit in there and some powdered egg whites. Just kinda curious what kinda differences I will see if any.

I am somewhere around 45/20/35 though. Personally I'm a fan of high protein and fat with moderate carbs.

I had done the Zone diet years ago, the book is very good and got me motivated to lose weight at the time. How's it going so far?

The diet is going well. I enjoy the meals and can see weekly progress in my physique.

Is the ratio based on the grams of each source or the percentage of calories from each source.
