Losing Weight in the Zone!

Here's a recent post from the Zone Diet Member Support Message Board:

"I'm 41 and I have to say that I'm surprised at how easily I have been losing weight. After two weeks I found I'd lost 2 1/2 pounds* — and that's without feeling hungry or deprived, and without really working out. (I'm in physical therapy for the third time since 1998 and haven't been able to work out regularly or at the intensity I'd like for quite some time). If you can exercise, I highly recommend it, as it always helped me stay on the right track in the past.

As far as eating, I use the Hand-Eye Method: Essentially, two-thirds of my plate at every meal is filled with veggies, one-third with protein, and I add a smidge of fat. I use the same proportions with my two snacks, too. I've become a big fan of roasted vegetables — especially eggplant and yellow and green squash — and I love raw spinach. I did not eat any form of bread the first week, and being the refined-carb queen that I am, I still can't believe I didn't miss it! I drink tons of water and eat berries like they're going out of style. I have to admit that I'm not a stickler for the rules and, still, the Zone plan is working for me!

I just feel better since I've been on this plan. I don't have the same cravings for sugar and chocolate, and even though I often work long hours, I have more energy. And my skin started looking brighter and clearer after the first couple of days, too!"
