Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Yeah no adkins for me I like my carbs, just try to eat the good ones. I was bad tonight and had some cheesecake but and I ate suer healthy this weekend so I think it will be ok, and with all that dancing I am sure we burned it all off anyhow.Look up the Zone diet on the net. It is a diet based on the 40/30/30 plan and it makes sense, my only thing is I cannot afford nor do I live in beverly hills where they will creat a movie star such as Aniston a pre packaed daily meal completely perfect in protein fat and carbs. That is how stars live though, so for me I just kind of go by the rule if I eat a little carbs i will eat it with some protein and fat, etc. That is how it realy works by keeping your fat and protein and carbs in a ratio that keeps your body in the zone, it is about how you can keep your insulin frm going up and down dwon down, it does work, I just don't and cannot follow it to the T ya know what I mean I don't have a cook or whatever so I have to actually figure it all out on my own. It isn't too bad thogh and it makes total snese Hugs[Carrue In , Jane Doe <oceanlilly_csu@y...> wrote: > Hi : > I'm glad you're not on Atkins.
