Carb craving (corn and cherries, okay?) and want to jog tonight

My original post is all past tense now. 1 can of corn @ around 60 grams
of carbs and 1 cup of cherries later... I feel terrific! I'm buying
more corn to keep on hand. It's freaking delicious! Not low-carb, but
in moderation could be fine. I feel full and satiated. I put some
butter, salt and pepper on it, and heated it nice and hot in the mirco
.... Nice! :-)

If you're achieving your goals
and feeling good at a higher carb
level, you might want to look at
the Zone or 40-30-30. A 1600 cal/day
diet that allows 160 grams of carbs
might suit you.

Thanks for the tip, Bill. I shall look into it. Are there many folks
around here on the Zone? I suppose it's not considered low-carb,
perhaps moderate-carb? Sounds ideal for me, actually. Could I continue
posting here though? I have grown to like it here! People are darn
cool.

I'm relatively new here, but I haven't
seen many threads concerning the Zone.
The alt.support.diet.zone forum is a
low activity forum, so I spend more time
here because there is more to read.

I'd agree with that. Protein adequate,
carb and fat moderate. In the strictest
sense it's not even a diet so much as
a hormonal modulation protocol.

I think it's a good program for people
who don't suffer from moderate to more
severe insulin resistance. That's why
I mentioned goal achievement. If you
can achieve/maintain a healthy bodyfat
percentage on the Zone, good for you.
I don't think that the majority of
the membership of this forum can do that.
And that's why there's not much talk of
it here.

I don't see why not.
The Zone is easy to follow.
If it works for you, there won't be
much of a need to hang out on a diet forum.
I think that's much of the reason why
there isn't a lot of Zone conversation.
People hang out on forums that address
their interests and issues (problems).
If a program as easy-going as the Zone
works for a person, then they really
don't have a dietary problem that
requires a lot of devotion to or support
from a forum like this.

It's active--I'll give it that.
As for the people, I'd say that
they are an interesting
cross-section.
