Yesterday was day seven of my Zone Diet.
I am a nurse in a busy doctor's office. I stand on my feet and walk all day. Most days I am exhausted by the end of the day. Yesterday was different. I had more spring in my step, I was more cheerful and clear headed and I never felt tired all day long. At 5:30 p.m. when I left work, I felt the NEED to go for a walk. I got home and took my dog for a 20-minute walk. I felt SO GOOD! I have not had this much energy in YEARS. What a difference seven days of eating the right food makes. I talked to one of my friends last night, and she suggested that I may be going through "the honeymoon phase" of the diet. I am hoping this feeling lasts the rest of my life.
I have already seen and felt so many positive things with this diet. The best one is that my daily aches and pains have been drastically reduced. The past year I have been getting more and more joint pain. When I woke up in the morning, I shuffled and was bent over until I could get everything straightened up and moving. I was walking like an old lady (and I am only 43!). I kept thinking if I am this way right now, how will I possibly be able to function when I am 65? I can pop out of bed and no pain! The joints are not nearly as stiff. When I sit at my computer for awhile then get up, I can walk without shuffling and moaning.
I have never been hungry or shaky the past week. Sometimes I have so much food on my plate I can't finish it. All I can say is thank you to Dr Sears. I had heard about this diet many years ago, but never tried it. I was inspired by watching TLC and seeing Manuel Uribe and how the Zone diet is helping him.
