Meal One
1/2 order of the fitness low-carb omelette at Mimi's cafe
1/2 cup orange juice

Meal Two
2 oz chicken grilled at home
1 cup broccoli
1/2 avocado

Meal Three (totally fell off the paleo/zone wagon on this meal!!!!)
Potluck at a friend's house
3 oz grilled chicken
1 oz baked beans
1 oz potato salad
1 oz rice
1 meatball
1/2 cup ice cream
2 one inch pieces of some kind of cake like white brownie dessert?
1/2 cup of decaf coffee

Well, there goes my goal of trying this new diet! I guess I just didn't want it bad enough. I preferred eating some "fun" things instead of sticking to my experiment. What do I do now? I think after trying this for two weeks, I am going to go back to the Zone. With the zone, I am still able to eat some "fun" foods in moderation and keep my insulin levels balanced. I do however, believe that I needed to cut back on some of the "fun" foods. And I believe that cutting back even on the Ezekiel bread helped me to have more energy and lose three more pounds. I am heading to California next week, so my goal then is to keep everything in a Zone friendly ratio, and keep the "fun" foods to one to two table spoon servings!
