Zone diet... anyone go on this?

[Bess]

I'm intrigued by this idea of preparing hormonally balanced food. Please give me your opinion of this diet and how you felt while on it. And....did you lose weight?

Thanks!

I read it, tried it and found it too complicated to follow.

I don't think it's extreme or outregous or anything. I personally lose respect when authors start marketing less than whole food products in the name of health (and in that, I include Dr. Sears, Atkins, Weight Watchers, South Beach, etc).

It was before kids though and just became too much after kids to keep up with the small meals, etc. I did lose some respect for him went he went all crazy with the soy, etc., in later books.

I've done a LOT of research on nutrition, etc., through the years and the Zone did make a lot of sense to me. I would like to go back to it at some point, but more modified.

I did it while I was pg and nursing - I have a harder time keeping up with it now, but I always feel great when I'm on it. Of course, I wasn't losing weight when I was pg ;)
