Hi guys,

Great thread. I have to say that one of the things I often go back too is a diet i tried a couple of years ago. Since I am a lazy eater (ie lazy cook) I joined this LA food delivery service. It was based on the zone diet and they delivered the food everyday. I would get a breakfast, lunch 2 snacks and light dinner. I lost 30 pounds in 6 months and dropped my cholesterol almost 80 points.

Anyway I saved all of my daily menus in case I wanted to try to recreate the diet on my own. So here is a sample...

Br: 1 scrambled egg whites and 2 turkey links
Lunch: Bowl of Turkey Chili and 3 crackers
Mid Afternon snack: 1 sting cheese and 5 peanuts
Dinner: Southwest chicken with beans
Snack right before bed: Slice of Salami and 3 pices of melon

The food was good, all zone balanced and i was never hungry. I can dig out some of meal combos sheets and post em.

I also just recently went to a nutritionist. Her advice was your plate should be 2/3 veggies and a piece of protein. I have recently cut out all the white carbs (ie flour and sugar). So far so good.

Have a good night
