Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I have spent much of my free time today researching the Soy Zone Diet. I originally ignored the Zone stuff because it was so meat focused. Now I'm taking another look at it. Has any one tried it? How was it? They swear there's no ketosis, but I would worry about that. Also without grains I can't imagine that the soy would be complete protein. I'd be interested in anyone's comments.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I'd be interested too. I just ordered the Book off Barnes and Noble a few days ago for $4.00 (couldn't pass up such a great deal).

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I've been practicing this diet for over a years now. This time last year, I weighed 209 lbs, had a jogging program that was more walking than jogging for 3 miles in 55 minutes, and found my max endurance to be good for about 45 seconds. BTW, I was 56 and in relatively good physical health. My veggie diet had spared me many of the outward signs of aging, but not the aches and pains that plague most in their fifties. Today, I'm a very different person. My weight this mornings was 171 after my 3 mile run in just over 24 minutes. I'm noticing the firming up of muscles that have received too little exercise over the past five years. The pains are gone and I recover quickly from my exercise program. My max endurance is now good for nearly 4 minutes. So, I used the soy zone program as a basis for adjusting my diet to keep me in the zone. There are many details to be discussed but I'll save them until they occur for you. Also, I've added several supplements to my diet which assure that my nutrition levels are above the minimums suggested by the FDA. I'm happy to share any and all of the info with anyone expressing interest.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I cannot jog. I can cycle for miles all over the hills, but cannot run. I would love any tips on it. Since it's something I cannot do, naturally it's something I want to. I'm 5'9 " and weigh 145 (though I'm pushing 150 from the holidays). I wear size 8 comfortably. Still, I'd love to be 135-140 (without fluctuating too much). I'm extremely leggy so when I gain, it's around the thighs and hips...Not much room to gain elsewhere as I have no upper body basically. So, are you strictly soy zone or is it more of a guideline?
