The Zone has too much carbo for me, and much too little fat.  Since I dropped
carbos to about 40 grams per day, I never have a hypoglycemic incident (which was
a frequent occurrence before).  I only eat fruit in the evening, never more than
one serving daily.  My snacks are hazelnuts or pecans, never fruit.  I've lost 12
pounds in about seven weeks.  Daily intake (I keep track on the Dietwatch
software; thanks to whoever recommended it): 60-80 grams protein, 30-40 grams
carbohydrate, 90-100 grams fat, calories 1250-1400.  I do NOT restrict the
quantities I eat, I just eat the amount that I want, but I'm very careful (paleo
and lo-carb) on the food choices.  It's been interesting to see the daily tallies
come up pretty consistently, without any restriction on my part.
