I am following the zone diet to the ttttttteeee and I am feelin rather nice. Does any
one know if you can drink coffee not decaf on the zone. It says nothing about
caffine in my Zone in seven days or what ever the title?

I love my oatmeal...

I would love to see a food diary of someone in the zone that has been successful.

I am in the zone with lots of energy..

I am buzzing right now at a frequency I am not used to...with out coffee

Happy New Year everyone

That is great to hear. The way you are feeling is one of the best indicators you are in the Zone.
Caffeine can raise insulin levels in many people. Reducing insulin is the primary goal of the Zone. It is recommended to slowly cut back to an occasional cup.
That's great! So cutting back shouldn't be a problem.
