It has been a little over a week for you. How are you doing with the Zone?

I would be happy to try and help you with any of your questions. I am a successful Zoner and certified by Dr. Sears.


[FONT=century gothic]My dr. suggested the zone diet and all the symptoms immediately disappeared and I feel fantastic. But is eating 100carbs a day lowcarb? It is described as putting your body on a fat burning pathway, can that be true while eating so many carbs? [/FONT]

The Zone is about hormonal control with adequate amounts of Protein, carbs and fat.

Also, now my evil sugar cravings are back, how do you all deal with that?

Are you trying to stick with 75% favorable carbs ~ those that are low glycemic? Your cravings should have been reduced or eliminated. Some women do experience cravings during their cycles. That can be kept at bay by adding a carb block to your meals.

I'm so looking forward to going to the gym and seeing if the extra carbs are going to make my workout a little more energetic.
How has that been working for you?
