Gaining weight may be more than consuming greater amounts of food, Consulting with a healthcare professional is suggested to monitor your weight, health and progress. The Zone diet is appropriate for everyone as it’s protein adequate and recommends 8-12 servings of colorful non-starch vegetables per day. Some adjustments may be necessary, therefore, consulting with a qualified professional is important. |

Thannks for your reply back. Yes I went to a professional about gaining weight. I just wasn't sure about The Zone. Oh, and I also meant that I'm 4'9 not 5'9. |

Karen, thanks for the correction on your height!!! So, you are still quite light, but not quite as bad as I was picturing! LOL My daughter is your age, just a bit taller by about 4-5 inches. In order to gain weight in the Zone, you will actually need to consume more fat. Mono-unsaturated fat, like nuts, avocado, olive oil, etc. Healthy fat. Other than that, eating your protein and carbs in balance is basically what we are doing here... |

Oh yeah, that is what I was thinking too with the fats. But im still not sure how much protein blocks im supposed to eat though. I still feel quite tired after I eat. The part where I am supposed to find my lean body mass confuses me... |
