Hi Velencia!

I'm replying to your post over here because when I log in I'm unable to get to the Cooking Tips forum where you posted. Five pounds lost in 18 days is excellent! In fact it's exactly what would be expected. You typically lose 1 to 1.5 pounds of stored fat each week in the Zone, and some people lose a couple pounds more during the first week as they release retained fluid from their previous way of eating. Your fb support group is a great idea. Check out the Zone diet page on fb, too. I just posted a link to a photo of my lunch today. :)

Good luck, Valencia, and have fun with it!

Hi, Glad you found it on fb. :)

Re your sausage question (I'm still having trouble with the Cooking Tips forum), it really depends on the amount of protein in you brand of sausage. Check the nutrition label. For a 3 block meal you want to use the amount of sausage that gives you around 20 grams of protein.
