I posted awhile ago that I had added a block of carbs to my meals and was reporting no hunger. I started to be hungry again and sometimes tired, so I went back to even protein and carb blocks. I am still experimenting, but I think the equal blocks may be best. I wonder why the change. Did my body adjust to the program? I wonder if it has something to do with following the latest carb block, minus fiber, counts. Now I eat more of certain vegies than the older books lists as a block. Maybe that was my problem all along? Still learning. In regard to my last post, thanks Sue and Scott, for the information on why the blocks changed for carbs. Lynda

Lynda[/quote:5b60a2ebff] Hi Lynda, In addition to the changes one makes to eating plans, one's body can change also. That's the beauty of the Zone. You can always adjust it to meet your needs. Sue

I found that after a couple of months on the Zone my body went into protein craving mode. I felt as if it wanted to catch up on many of those proteins it had missed out on for so long. So I just went with it an had more protein for a while. Dont try to fit your body into the square peg designed for someone else work out what is best for you. The food diary is a wonderful help here.
