I've been looking into the zone diet a bit, and while it seems nice on paper, I'm worried it’s just not doable for most people. For instance, I only cook at home maybe four times a week; the rest of the time, I'm relying on bakeries or the university dining hall. You can't really put together a meal there that fits the zone guidelines, even if you're being super "liberal" about it. It’s easy to call someone an idiot, especially when you have no idea what their day-to-day life actually looks like.

The dining hall is actually perfect for a budget-friendly zone plan 🙂

Grab a piece of meat and some salad, and you’ve basically got a near-perfect zone meal (you just need to add olive oil, which is recommended). The recipes are pretty straightforward—you don't even need a scale, just use your hand as a guide (like, the meat should be roughly the size of your palm). Carbs are easy to track too (half an apple equals one block, whereas you can eat as much salad as you want), and the fat will usually be included in the dining hall meals. Honestly, even $3.25 buying enough peanuts for the month isn't that expensive 🙂

So, let me ask you....what kind of fish oil are you taking? Any specific brand? I picked up some Natural wealth...so I'm wondering if that's actually any good, or if there's something better you'd suggest?

How much weight loss have you noticed so far?

I'm pretty happy with my progress—when you're eating in the zone, the mental focus is honestly fantastic... I just feel like I have way more energy and drive...

The best option is Enerzone (it's what Sears recommends), $133 give it about 2 months 🙂 You can find it at most pharmacies😉

Hey everyone!
I just stumbled upon a link on some forum for a free course on Neuro-Linguistic Programming—you know, that stuff used to boost confidence, tackle phobias, improve memory, and all that other territory involving self-hypnosis. Anyway, if anyone's actually interested, here's the site:

www.nlpweekly.com/

The link for the actual course is right there on the page. I went ahead and signed up—if it turns out to be a total bore, I’ll probably just drop it; but since it’s free, I guess there's really no harm in trying, right?

There are plenty of decent omega-3 tablets out there made from 30% purified fish oil, but I know exactly why I’m looking for the 60% stuff. Honestly, if I don't know the specific percentage, then I don't see much point in us even discussing it.👋

It all sounds wonderful and lovely, but nowhere does it actually say what percentage of purified fish oil was used to make this, which is really the most important part.🙄

Regarding protein powder—Dr. Grbac Gredelj told me today that they have Veggie Fuel over at the Twinlab in El Paso, though I actually picked up some powder from Helix the other day, so I guess the Veggie Fuel can wait a few weeks. I haven't run into Steve yet, but I'm looking for him.
I'm really interested in Omega-3. I just can't seem to find any fish oil that's 60% purified, so I've been taking three capsules of the 30% stuff instead—does anyone happen to know where I can find the better stuff???

Best,
