I'll post this in another area too but has anyone ever done the Zone diet?

I'm thinking about switching into that when my cleanse is done on Thurs.

I bought the book but it's boring me. Haven't gotten to the meal plan section yet.

how was your cleanse? did you lose weight? how do you feel????

i love doing stuff like that - i will totally need it in february fo sho!

I've always envied your cleanse but no way would I ever be able to do it.

I love the idea of giving your innards a break.

So I found one that's much more do-able for me.

It's a 70% raw diet with salmon and a little olive oil mixed in.

It's a 10 day deal.

I feel really good except I'm exercising along with it and my energy for that is definitely down.

I'm assuming because of the lack of protein?? I'm suplimenting with B12.

Ouch for Sarah, Kristi! Yikes. I'm glad she's alright!

My brother did that to me once, but it was a golf club. Explains a lot, I know.

Hmm I can't seem to reply to threads on my iPhone. Still learning here.

Kristi you are right on the money. I did start a new job and there went my MS time.
I love my new job though, inspire of that. Ha ha.

Things are good. Hannah is growing like a weed. She started preschool in June (just a summer program) and will go full time at the end of August.

Ken on the other hand will never be done with school. Due to budget cuts here, he can't get the classes he needs to graduate even though he is a graduating senior. Sigh!

I am so glad Sarah is ok! Poor thing!

:wave:
i did the zone before kids and had MEGA success with it.
it's a lot of weighing and measuring at first, but then it gets easy.
i have a couple of the books in the other room so i can always check stuff for you if you can't find it in your book or online.

Good to know. Thanks.

If I do it I'll look like Jennifer Anison.

Right???

Hi Becca! Good to see you on here!

That stinks about Ken. I hate being in limbo like that when you're so close. Rob was in school FOREVER. I was so glad when it was all over.

I'm so glad you love your new job. You were so burnt out on your old one.

Thanks for the sympathy Kristi. It really sucks!

Yeah the new job has made our lives so so different! In a very awesome way!

It's an enzyme replenishing cleanse.

basically...

lots of fruit for breakfast
raw almonds for a snack
big salad with half and avocado and a little olive oil with red wine vinegar for lunch
apple slices with raw peanut butter for a snack
4 oz of salmon and veggies steamed no longer than 4 minutes for dinner

I need to get off the computer and make a game plan for today.

This is the last week before school and I have all 3 kids at home with me with no camps.

I think I'm going to take Sarah to the babysitter today and take the boys to Harry Potter.

I told them we could do fun stuff 3 days this week without Sarah.

Then I'll have 2 weeks alone with her before she goes back to school and we can have some girlie time.

I have never done the zone because I'm lazy.

But I would love to learn more about this cleanse.

ok so I could totally do this. I'll probably want to eat my own hand by the end of the day but at least I like the food.

I once tried a liquid cleanse with this juice stuff. I psyched myself out before I started. I couldn't bring myself to drink it. So I drank diet coke instead, which defeated the purpose, so I figured why bother and got McD's for lunch.
