Would love to have a diet buddy close by...living outside of Houston...

My husband and I are looking into doing a zone diet, saw it on a TV program yesterday. We live on the far northest side of Houston. We are a couple of blocks from Lake Houston. Having a buddy to help figure this out would be great.

Hi! I'm about 2 1/2 hrs. north of y'all around Palestine. How are you both doing on the Zone?

I've been on 10 wks this week. . . lost 12 lbs. so far and a little over 12 inches. Got on it to lower insulin and chol.

We live in Atascocita. I am getting started but having a little trouble with fixing different meals for me and the rest of the family. Trying to get my husband on board, he loves to eat and is afraid it won't taste good. I have lost 5 lbs in two weeks. Do you use the zone foods? Can you get them in the grocery store?

I've only used what I can order online from here. . .the EicoRX and the Zone bars. I love the Roasted Peanut ones! Kind of like a Reeses Pieces bar instead of cups or something. . . anyway, closest we can get to them right now! LOL

I havent seen any Zone foods at the store. I dont know if you know, but, the Zone Perfect bars you see at walmart are NOT Dr. Sears zone bars. . you can only get them online as far as I know. There's something about the mfg. of them broke away from this company and they re-formulated with more sugar, etc. I've actually found that the South Beach bars are very close to the same as the real Zone bars but they are like a crisped rice where these are different.

I have the same situation with my husband not eating what I do. Sometimes I can fix the same meat but different veggies. He doesnt like brocc. or cabbage or caulif. or any of that. If I use the ground turkey in tacos or something its ok, but, mostly we make two meals. Its just he and I here now.

Our daughter lives up by Dallas & I keep thinking maybe I'll see if I can find any of the pre-made meals, TV dinners I guess you'd say, of the Zone up there.

Thanks, Queen, for the advice.
I live in Southern California and closest store is about 1/2 hour away. It would be very convenient to
have some frozen meals on hand.

Hi, I'm Georgetown, 30 miles aabove Austin. I am white female, age 59, 50 percent fat {225 lbs}. I clean houses for a living! That keeps me active. I have bad knees so I can't really walk miles everyday. I love The Zone. My problem is that I just eat tooooo much of everything. I am paying closer attention to quantity. I would like a buddy to mainly chat and compare results with that's over 50. Our metabolisms slow down. Good luck with your actions.

Hi Marie,

I'm 55, used to weigh a bit more than you do (13 yrs ago), lost it and kept it off. I'm not in TX though. I'm in CT. A tip: if you stick with lots of low density Zone favorable veggies, it will be next to impossible to eat too much! I'd be glad chat with you about the Zone, and can definitely relate to changes in metabolism; have had to adjust my Zone requirrements over the past few yrs to accomodate my changing metbolism.

I live in Childress, TX. I just moved here a few months ago from Oregon. I know it's quite a ways from Childress to Houston. I have an aunt who live in Houston. I am planning to go see her in the spring. Anyway, I don't know if I qualify to be a Texan yet but I live here!

To Georgetown: are you still doing the zone? I am 53, have done it before, need to go back to square one. If you still want a buddy let me know.

ok i just joined, I am a little scared, a little nervous and a lot freaked out. I have tried other diets in the past to no avil so i am really hoping this one works. I live in the Mid Cities area, for those of you not in that area that is half way between dallas and fort worth. I am needing to lose the weight in order to get my diabetes under control. I refuse to take medication because i don't like to take pills, i am not bad enough for insulin thank goodness but the dr wants me on meds and i want to get it under control with diet and exercise. i like to walk but i hate to walk by myself. i am a stay at home mom/law student so if anyone is in this area and would like to get together a couple of times a week to walk let me know

Anyone from the Austin area? I live in Hutto. Ive zoned off and on for several years but I always seem to gain it back. I have a really hard time sticking to it but feel great when I do. I just having trouble being consistent. I think maybe a buddy who understands the zone would help me, even if its just an email buddy. Any takers?

Thanks Queen for Cedarlandfoods.com!! I jsut looked it up and I am impressed, I found a natural food store near me that I think carries Zone products, I am going to check it out.
And sorry but not from Texas.

Hi Barbara,

I realize your post is two years old, but are you still looking for a Zone buddy.  I have been doing the Zone for years, but I think I would be more consistent if I had someone to talk with about it.  I live in Austin.

Thanks,
KJ
