Hi all

I am new to the Zone. I have been doing it for the last two days and I'm really cranky. Is this normal? Will it end soon? I'm not hungry, I'm eating my blocks and getting exercise. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi!

Two days means you're still in the initial adjustment stages. Studies show is takes 4 days to lower insulin into the Zone range. Some experience positive changes almost immdeiately, while it can take other people a couple weeks to begin feeling benefits. If you'd low to share more detailed info I'll be glad to take a look and see if I can help (info such as what you've been eating and how much, your LMB and body fat %, etc.
