hi all, I started atkins and lost some weight, but my carb cravings soars so high to the sky and i blew it up, but bingeing all the carbo..i feel so helpless now..when i read about the zone, i don't really know how shall i start, cuz i'm afraid i'll end up the same way..How do i get started,n 5mins ago i just had a sandwich(white bread)...can any one tell me what to do, is zone difficult to follow, cuz i had to eat out most of the time... :( :roll:

Buy A Week in the Zone. It has a week of easy to start Zone meal plans. Take small steps and ask alot of questions. Everyone here is eager to help. Remember that being on the Zone diet is not a carbohydrate restriction diet - you just eat more complex carbohydrates than simple carbohydrates. It seems confusing at first but it will get easier the more you stick to it.

thanks for the reply! i was kind of feelin down after some binges...so...was trying to pick myself up again...and have no idea how to do it throught the zone...

One thing I found useful was to always have some fruit and a tub of NO fat cottage cheese on hand and then ( as a rough giude) eat equal quatities of each EVERY time you snack, and dont forget to add the nuts of your choice!!! Most important if you dont want to feel hungry afterward
