Thanks for the comments.

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!

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?

Congrats Colin!

What next? I say go for the ideal of 12% body fat.

Keep us updated!

Karl mentioned the zone to me last week. 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.

Fantastic work Colin!

i think you should aim to keep your diet the same for te next few weeks and see what happens…weight down/same/up? 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.
