Davie: Yep, when I reach steady state, I'll experiment with doubling the fat. To be honest, I feel pretty good on the Zone all day. Steve: The Zone is soooo not full of processed food! Meat, dairy, veg, fruit, nuts - that's about 99% of it. You've not lived until you've had steak for breakfast! :D Sue: Thanks for popping by, I had wondered about a 12% target. If I remember rightly Dr Sears now suggests 12% as the ideal body fat target, not the 15% recommended by the main stream. Is that right? Thanks for the comments.

Is it a very American diet? I bought a book called 'eating for life' last year and its full of processed American crap. I need to ditch startchy carbs, I eat a lot of pasta and spuds, bread and cereal. Its amazing when you reflect on it. I need to knock booze on the head as well. I've done it before with no problem, but its easy to get back into old habits I guess. Karl mentioned the zone to me last week. Is it a very American diet?

And see how you feel...full of energy/tired? Then tweek it a little bit by adding in some extra fat blocks for a week or two and see how that affects you. Fantastic work Colin!
