Food ‘n Drink

I’ve added a new diet to my lists (sorry I just have to find the spare time to write them so it’s a slow process!) all about The Zone Diet. Below is a short excerpt from the start of the page.

I first picked up a book on the zone diet back in 2000. I actually bought the book because it was in a closing down sale and cost around £2. I figured I may find some nice recipes in it. I started to then read all about the zone diet and this was the first instance of reading about how it was in fact insulin causing my weight issues, and also how if I continued as I did I could possibly end up diabetic. This scared me. At the time I was living alone in London and comfort eating most weeks as I had nothing to do at night, walked past plenty of food shops on the way home from work, lived above a Chinese, and worked next door to another Chinese! The zone diet made sense to me. As it states, back in the old times humans didn’t have access to the carbohydrate foods that we have now, and they lived off meat, fruit and vegetables.
