Lynlee, yes I've seen Paleo mentioned in Zone sites as well. Some say they do a mix of the two.
Ya'll sound like you met valentine challenges as well as could be expected. Nancy, actually that's great choosing 3 pieces of candy for the day and stopping. OKay, having to wait for a meal is awful. Often you are either waiting on your feet, or even if sitting somehow, feel crowded in a press of people. So understandable that you then eat more than you intended.
Kathryn, I'm learning the key to so much that is healthier for us is to eat at home!
Tonight I did Zumba 20 minutes. Next one I plan is Zumba 20 minutes for abdomen, which should be tough. Then probably back to T-Tapp a few days, then try the longer Zs. These are the older Zs.
Trying to have meals that fit the Zone ideas of balance. Yesterday I fiddled with a recipe for a peach smoothie with protein powder until it fit the Zone ideal of carb/protein/fat the best I could manage. They tell you not to work that hard with the numbers, though.
Today I had a big toss salad with cucumber and cheese, but forgot the avocado I planned
Supper was a stir fry with beef, broccoli, onion.
He is also one who wants you to eat within one hour of arising. Good grief. That's just like spinning plates to me! Just have to plan way in advance and not expect much. Maybe grab the thyroid pill, set an alarm as I arise, lol, and eat fast at the magic one-minute-before-the-hour mark.
from the "Did NOT know that" dept....
Editing to add I just read his account of the aftermath of the mine disaster in West Virginia in 2006, when only one miner lived but was in brain failure, among other huge health problems. This is in the newer book. Did not know that Sears was the specialist contacted to prescribe fish oil for the miner, which ultimately was determined to be the factor that saved him. Julian Bailes was the dr who decided he wanted to administer fish oil to his patient, so certainly he was the one who deserves the credit. But he requested the (high) dosage be prescribed by Sears because Sears was researching it at the time, and Sears actually sent the doses of fish oil to the hospital to be administered through the miner's feeding tube. Of course, the miner famously came out of his coma in less than 2 months, gave an impressive speech, went home, and fathered a healthy child with his wife soon after.
