I'm new to the zone but am really loving it. I have a question on the Grocery Addition tab on the website. I read through the list of grocery additions and want to clarify if these are items that you would ADD to a zone meal or use as PART of the zone meal. The way it reads to me is that these are items you can add to a specific meal in order to maximize fat loss, but I want to be sure that by adding these items to a specific meal I am not takng myself out of the zone. I hope that makes sense! Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

CLARIFICATION: The grocery additions list is for the special ZoneFast 1-2-3 foods that you purchase from Zone Labs. And not necessarily for using as a part of Zone meals. Though, those foods are certainly good to use as a part of standard or classic Zone meals. The "Grocery Additions" LIST was designed specifically for the new ZoneFast 1-2-3 foods.

Hi Christie,

As John mentioned, the items and amounts listed on the Grocery Additions page are suggestions for additions  to your meals that include Zone breads, pizzas and pastas as ingredients (ZoneFast 1-2-3 meals). 

When making classic Zone meals use the hand-eye method  (aka 'late Method; the one when you divide you plate into thirds) or the Zone Food Block method.  You can find them both described here:  http://www.zonediet.com/Tools/Quick...fault.aspx

Thanks for the great information - I appreciate it! I need to read through the whole book, but I've been out of state helping my dad and then my mom through major health challenges which is what inspired me to look into this program. Unfortunatley, between two different hospitals and driving 3 hrs for my dad's thoracic surgeon, time is at a premium so I scanned the basics and started in. I appreciate the quick responses and very helpful information. This allows me to work on the plan NOW rather than waiting till I have time to read through it all and figure things out. Thanks!

You're welcome Christie, and best wishes to your mom and dad for good recoveries.

Thanks, Sue - I appreciate it.

You're welcome Christie.  I've had my share of health challenges, and I know it can be a difficult and draining time for the whole family.  I'm gald you're able to help them out.  I'm sure they are very appreciative and also comforted by you help.
