This one comes from Lyn, and it focuses on GL and acid in a meal: http://www.zoneperfect.com/Site/content/print.asp?ID=5410 Have you seen any new articles that would add to the discussion?

Did you hear about the Buddhist monk who was a computer whiz? When he meditated he found himself in nerdvana. (boom tish) Seniora

It is so good to see the list of contributors increasing! There is an old parable about a circuit rider preacher who had several parishes on the frontier. While visiting one, he noticed that one of the older church members hadn't been to church in years. He got on his horse and rode out to the old man's cabin. The old hermit opened the door and welcomed the parson silently, and they both sat

Fell off the wagon & into a deep dark pit of eating comfort carbs for several months -- at least I took my fish oils & magnesium citrate. My thyroid system is still periodically wacko from too much reverse T3, but overall it is more stable. I actually walk a bit now or get on my exercise bike, esp since someone gave me one of Micky D's pedometers *G*! Starting to lose some of my excess pounds

For me, eggs in any form are great. Love grilled meats (after a 1-2 day soak in a marinade) with quickly sauteed veggies with minced ginger & garlic.

The bevy of new commercial foodstuffs in the low-carb arena, due to the upswing in Atkins, can be of benefit to Zoners, South Beachers, etc., but there are some danger zones. Neither the Zone or South Beach encourage unlimited fat consumption, or use of large quantities of saturated fats. Many of the low-carb foods, candies, etc depend on fats to improve palatability and texture. Caveat emptor

I've been reading The South Beach Diet recently, and I find Agatston interesting but not in a breakthrough kind of way. There is now another diet book along the same lines from a doc in the Hamptons. Apparently every MD from a chi-chi community has to write a diet book whether he or she has anything new to say. I've also been reading The Purpose Driven Life, by Rick Warren, in conjunction with

As you can see, I changed the layout template already. This one isn't as pretty, but it allows more room for discussion. Our look may change many times before we settle down around the campfire.

Just wondering if anyone has been trying the South Beach Diet? My Administrative Asst. has been doing it since the first of the year and she has lost 38 pounds so far. I've done a little bit of beaching, and I am very impressed with the terrific recipes in both the main book and the cookbook. Dr. Agatston has compiled recipes from the best chef's in Miami. The approach is very Zonelike with less

In 2002 we lost our dear friend, John Weaver, who created ZoneHome and gave many of us a safe place to discuss our eating patterns, a lower carb lifestyle and maybe even a hunter-gatherer way of looking at the world. In 2004 we lost the ZoneHome campfire to a commercial interest. This BLOG is a place where the ZH community can just meet and talk together. It is not an exclusive community.
