The Zone is a "miracle drug" for my husband. He tried the Atkins diet, but it didn't do much for him. But when he's in "The Zone," he is a different person -- always positive and up, not moody, and his weight drops quickly. I like the Zone, because it definitely restricts carbs, but doesn't completely rule them out, and I do believe that some balance is necessary in dieting. (I used to be on every diet in the book, but meds actually make me lose weight so it's not a concern anymore.) I found that limiting carbs to about 100 grams a day made a difference in my carb cravings and mood.

Only problem with the Zone is that it's not the easiest diet to be on ... my husband has a hard time staying on it.

good luck!

Overweightness is definitely the lesser of the two evils but damnit there is nothing more frustrating than doing all that I do and seeing no results. Since this is a metabolic thing that is happening, then I think that there has to be a way to out fox it. Let's figure it out!
