I strongly encourage you to stay on track and give it a fair chance to see how the Zone/Paleo can work for you! I can testify that it has worked for me. Of course, I'm not weighing and measuring my food right now.. .but I guarantee I will after this tiny little bundle of joy is in my arms rather than in my belly.
I am looking forward to sharing my food logs with you in the near future. In doing so, it is my hope to keep myself on track and to also help anyone out. It seem that others have found it helpful to see examples of my food log. For some, it was helpful to see how to log food while for others it was helpful to get some easy ideas.
Here is my food log from a while back.... hope it helps!
I generally eat the same foods and I generally try to keep it as simple as possible. My meals usually take less than 30 minutes to prepare.
I don't claim to be perfect or right on the money every time. However, this week I really focused on weighing, measuring, and logging all my meals so that I would be pretty accurate.
I strongly recommend this for everyone who is trying the Zone for the first time.
I also recommend this for the person (like myself), who has weighed and measured their food/blocks in the past, but needs to dial in and fine tune some things.
