They act like they got Jesus after a couple of weeks of quick weight loss and bore every non-dieter with what has carbs and what doesn't etc...and order all this weird stuff (bacon-wrapped meat and stuff) and then they kind of quit talking about it and gradually gain it back, until you swear they were fatter than when they started. That's been about 100%, of my aquaintences.

I DO know people that are successful Zone dieters but most of them weren't that overweight to begin with -- more like, they want to be 10 lbs under their normal weight (actress wanna be's etc!) But it seems to work and they eat more normal food --brown rice and all that.
