The Zone Diet

Anyone who wants to lose weight please try the zone. It is amazing. We took pics of me tonight and there wasn't a single bad one as oppossed to last month when I wouldn't post any Andy took of me. It is sooo the best diet/lifestyle change out there. I have lost a whole size in 3 weeks and I have been cheating every night by having a drink or two.

 

Is this what you speak of young lass???

if so, share more !

 

Yep! That is it! I would love to show before and after photos, but I am sooo ashamed of my before photos! Seriously, I have a waist, lost a bit more than a pants size, my bras are no longer tight, all my chubbiness around my face left. This is embarassing, but my fiance was grabbing my ass and before I mentioned my weight loss (he had been away for work) he mentioned how tight my ass was.

It's great. It was hard at first because I LOVE sweets, but the zone bars really help out with that.
I have either a protein shake or oatmeal with cottage cheese and fruit and cinnamon for breakfast. A zone bar for lunch, another zone bar int he afternoona nd either fish and veggies or chicken and veggies for dinner.
Although I have to be honest, work was stressing me out so I skipped dinner and had a drink instead most nights last week.
I want to lose 30 more pounds before my wedding. I would like to be a lean size six (I am 5'9)

 

loosing in a hurry isn't good. perminent chainges that keep it off are.

i'm rather fond of the alien abduction diet myself.

*reads as she finishes off a whole pack of cookies*

hmmmmmmm. Shit.

Ahhh fuck it, the cookies were worth it

 

too much carbs for me personally

do not like the 40-30-30 ratio

 

We are getting married June 27th...so that gives me 5 months...so that's less than 2 pounds a week. It will be permanent I am going to keep this diet up for the rest of my life. I misss being tall and thin and fitting into sample sizes at sample sales and being able to wear high-end designer clothes.
Andy...I know what you are thinking as you read this but high end designer clothes = shopping less because they are things I will keep for a lifetime (like my handbags). Plus you know how good I am at finding designer clothes at a discount and if I am in smalls there will be more to choose from.

 

well...it's working for me obviously ( see the new pics) and I also want a healthy diet for preganancy as we want to have a baby in 2009. My doctor told me I looked great and he noticed a difference and said my diet sounds like the healthiest one out there (minus the alcohol).

Plus, as a woman who is susceptable to bladder infections 30 percent may even be a bit too high in protein for me after I lose all the weight.

 

Like a lot of diets, this seems to be basicly good nutritional advice, packaged up in a sleek image.

"Unlike other diets, insists dieters to keep a close eye on calorie consumption."

Pft.

Glad it's working out for you though.

 

Great job! It takes a lot of will power. Size six seems pretty skinny though considering you're tall.

 

i'm beginning to look like a pissed off marshmallow monster.

 

i hope my initial message didn't come off as harsh...

glad its working out for you. and i did see the new pics you look great

i'm happy with something along the lines of 50-30-20 (P. F. C. ratio)

 

thanks!

That seems like an awesome diet for your goals.
I would keel over in ketosis and kidney failure though lol.

 

I go a little over the calorie consumption. I just cannot function on 1200 calories a day (what the plan reccomends). I eat more like 1600.

 

i'd question anyone who ever recommends that you go on anything close to a 1200 calorie diet

 

I couldn't function on 1200 calories a day either. 1600 ended up being a good number for me as well when I counted calories. However, I've resolved not to go on any more "diets". Calorie counting and always having to think about what I eat drives me insane and when I would throw in the towel I would always overeat. It was really sick. I eat healthier when I just don't think about it. That's just me though and I'm not saying I don't think diets work, after a while I just realized they don't work for me.

 

THANKS! If I get to an eight and don't have a lot of body fat I will be happy. I just remember when I was a size six and I looked sooooo good.

 

aREN'T YOU A TALL GIRL TOO?

 

Yep.

 

congrats

the only thing i think isn't the best, is saying you will stay on a diet for the rest of your life. Shouldn't really have the mind frame of a diet per say. And diets are formed to lose weight, not really eat that way forever.More like lose weight on it, then eat healthier to keep it off.

either way im glad its working for you. And cha ching, i rock at finding designer clothes on discount too, haha.
