What we are trying to do is maintain the hormonal insulin in a tight zone, not too high nor too low. This can be achieved by treating food as if it were a drug. I am happy to be here. Lets start with questions. And I'm addicted.
Blocks are simply a unit of measurement, where all the macro nutrient density is the same.
An example, pasta is very dense in carbohydrates, as where vegetables are not. So when you talk about carbohydrate intake, you have to reduce that to a common unit of intake. That's what we call blocks. I Calculated my daily protein requirement to be 7 blocks, but read in an FAQ that no matter what, you should use 8 as a minimum. That is true.
