: Welcome. Many Cronies are also Zonies. There are extensive

discussions on this in the support list archives, the support group files,

and the main group archives. Use the search word: " zone " .

I am not sure I would consider Walford a near vegetarian diet. I

have kept a pretty religous log of what I eat using the DWIDP software,

and I have had meat or fish 1-2 times a day. Chicken brest several

times a week, Salmon or Tuna twice a week, Pork (lean Ham or lean Pork)

once a week, and very lean beef once a week. I continue to eat lean

red meat because of A) taste (and my wife does insist once in a while)

and because I have a concern about absorbtion of iron without red

meats. I also eat several eggs during the week, most often as

scrambled egg whites on the weekend. The rest is fruits, veges,

whole grains, some nuts, and olive oil.

I am 5

foot 9 inches male currently at 168 and still losing about 1 pound per

week (down from about 210 on May 1, 2001 which is whhen I started the

Walford diet). I follow the diet as a part of my lifestyle (I have

been able to keep incorporate it into a family life, wife and two young

children) but do allow myself to eat out and have occasional birthday

cake (unavoidable as a father). I also do moderate Aerobic

exercises 2-3 times a week and mild weight training once a week.

My meal

numbers for the month of January

Total Calories: 2050 (usually 1900 but a little higher this month)

Protein: 100 grams

Fat: 42 grams

Fiber: 50 grams

Carbohydrates: 342

15-20% of calories from fat, 20% from protein, 60-65% from

carbohydrates.

Just on

Cronnie who doesn't consider himself a vegetarian.

to this group & CR: any thoughts on the Zone as applied to CR?

I just read through both the Zone and one of Dr. Walford's books.

Walford appears to be almost vegetarian in his approach vs. Sears'

semi-high protein recommendations.

Apologies for the uninformed question.

Thanks,
