I have written to you guys before about how amazing the Zone is and how it has changed my life. I had only been on the Zone diet for three months when Hurricane Katrina came through and destroyed more than half our home. By that time I had lost a total of 50 pounds and felt on top of the world. Then my world came crashing down. We've had to live in several different places, most of them not having a kitchen, so we've had to eat out almost every meal for a long time. In that time I have only gained back 20 pounds. On every other diet I ever tried, going off it usually meant gaining back all the weight plus extra. Because you taught me the proper way to eat, I have been able to keep off the majority of the weight, and given the way we've had to live for the last 18 months, I think it's amazing. We have had to rebuild our home ourselves and we are finally getting to the end of the kitchen rebuild. I have pulled out all of my Zone books (they made it through the storm) and told my mother last night that I cannot wait to get back in the Zone! I can't wait to feel so good again and watch the weight melt off. Now how many diets can you say that about? Thanks to your books, re-teaching me how to utilize food even though I gained some weight back, I'm not terrified because I know how to get it back off, thanks to you and the Zone. Thank you again for everything.
