I am just starting on the Zone. I am about 25 lbs overweight, but I have low cholesteral (130), low blood pressure, low blood sugar, anemic. My doctor told me to make sure I eat red meat, eggs, and salt so I don't get sick. When I try to cut back on thes things too much I usually start passing out.

So eggs are important I eat maybe 1 or 2 a day. Usually scrambled(bkfst) or boiled(snack) without extra oil. I also prefer free range organic eggs with the dark yellow yolks. Does the quality of eggs you eat make a difference? Will eating eggs make a difference on how I respond to this diet? Can you add a suplement to off set the bad chemical in egg yolks?

I really hope the Zone will help me get my body into balance.

OK so maybe I do have too much AA in my system. I got a major headache today (day 2). I noticed the post under ZoneTips >headache. I know it isn't caffiene because I kept that the same. I only drink 2-4 cups green tea a day. Only 2 have caffiene (25 mg) the rest are resteeps.

Egg yolks have AA, so you want to make sure you eat only the whites. That should help. You will be releasing that AA for a couple weeks.

Thanks I started on an Omega 3-6-9 supplement and also have been taking asprin for the headaches. I hope this goes away sooner than 2 weeks...It is hard to tell when you are in the zone.
