>>I'm not a fan of " The Zone " or " Atlkins " or any other " high-protein " diet,

because touting high protein requirements contributes to the lies the meat

and dairy industries have been telling us for years.<<

 

" The Zone " only touts high protein in YOUR opinion. As I've said more than

once to you, the suggested range of " The Zone " is 0.5 to 0.9. Most people

fit into the lower factors. What's high protein about that? Besides that,

those who need higher amounts of protein for specific reasons should get it

and ought to have reliable strategies for doing so.

 

Why do you focus on only one aspect of the diet and then paint the whole

diet with that misleading detail? For those who actually take the time to

read about " The Soy Zone, " they will find it is about MUCH more than the

amount of protein a person eats.

 

For example, diabetics can benefit greatly from the research that Dr. Sears

has conducted, if they can get past the misinformation you've spread about

this widely published scientists and researcher.

 

Here's what the man's really about.

http://www.barberusa.com/medical/sears_barry_bio.html If you can read that

and not be impressed, then health and nutrition are not really your biggest

concerns.

 

If you hate high protein consumption, then expressing those dislikes

involves quite a different discussion than simply trashing " the zone " for no

substantial reason.

 

 

>>In addition, since a typical day on the original Zone diet involves eating

70% of protein calories from animal sources, Sears' diet contributes to the

suffering and death of animals, which, since I'm a strict vegetarian for

mostly ethical reasons, I could never condone.<<

 

Who cares about the " original zone " diet? It's been updated many times

since then, and Dr. Sears is the first to tell his readers that eating meat

causes them health problems. Although he does promote eating some fish just

like a few of members in this group do when they add it to their veggie

diet.

 

" ...eating 70% of protein calories from animal sources... " is an laugable

claim!! I've been a strict vegetarian for 22+ years. During that time,

I've heard many unreliable claims from both sides of the meat/no-meat issue.

This one is a real winner...
