RE: Soy Zone--Veggie Pizza

[Guest guest]

Allison,

 

Biking is a great alternative for the non runners. The key is any activity

that makes you feel alive. I live in the big city, so I run in the early

mornings (5-6:30 am) when the number of cars is lower. It's dark and my

thoughts ramble easily among the things I care about.

 

Here's how I'd get started: Begin slowly, maybe 20 minutes the first day.

If you can do it twice a day that might move you along quicker. Work up to

what feels comfortable.

 

Drink plenty of water. Statistically, many in the US population are not

getting the correct amount of water. Some say only 80% of what's needed.

IMHO, 60-80 oz a day is the minimum. I usually drink over a 100 ozs.

Drinking coffee, or diet soda, or tea is not a proper substitute. There's a

medical reason that's a bit complicated.

 

For my own tracking purposes, I weight myself daily, always at the same

time, just before my morning shower. Record it. Get excited, when it goes

down, and do what's you're doing to keep it happening that way. When it

goes up, ask yourself with real honesty why! Accept responsibility for your

answer.

 

My assessment of your stats is actually quite good. Some women of your

height would be happy at 150. Since I don't see you in the mirror, I accept

that you have extra pounds to shed. Increased activity is only one path to

doing that.

 

You already know the value of diet in maintaining and shaping our lives.

 

It's my opinion that I'm healthier on the soy zone derived diet than I've

ever been in the past with a self directed veggie diet. I believe the

med/sci literature on nutrition also supports my decision. I'm happy to

point people in the right direction so that they can assess the same info I

have used.

 

All that I do diet wise is intended to keep my body in " the zone. " I use

the 1-2-3 method <p. 200> for counting quantities of the foods I eat. Once

I learned this procedure, it was easier to convert recipes to the zone.

This is veggie pizza night at my house (see recipe below).

 

" The basic premise of the Zone is that eating the proper balance of foods

will keep certain hormones within a therapeutic zone. " <p. 2, The Soy Zone>

Since you have the book, Allison, I can answer any questions you have, if

you refer to the page of the book that confuses you.

** The protein bar is a side entrée. Do

not cook it with the pizza.

www.PremierNutrition.com (31 g Prot bar

often sold at COSTCO.)

 

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Make pizza

by spreading all ingredients evenly on the

crust, placing cheese on last. Cook for

12-14 mins. Welcome to the Zone!

 

This recipe is a bit low on fat at 46 grams. The other numbers are checked

by multiplying the 46 by 1, then 2, then 3. Doing that we get 46, 92, and

138, as shown above.

 

I hope this helps to get you started.

 

Dave

RE: Soy Zone

 

 

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?

 

Warmly,

Allison
