I heard of The Zone a long time before SBD. I always found it to be very interesting, but I never got around to it because there was to much messuring to be done and too many supplements.

What does everyone else think of this diet?

I've heard that the SBD is a lot like the Zone... is this true?


Hey I was at the grocery store last night and I say Soy Crisps, are the ones you get from Gen Soy?

I have the book and tried the Zone for about 2 days...and couldn't keep up anymore. The philosophy is relatively the same - don't eat the bad carbs, eat the good ones - only much stricter. There is a restriction on many veggies such as beans. There is a section in the book where you measure your body, figure in your weight and height, and then calculate your allowances of fat, protein and carbs for each day. I was constantly reading labels and adding and subtracting and just trying to keep up. IMO, SBD is so much more sensible - and easier.

Hope this helps!
