...I'm **guilty**
as charged. I have a little bit of very good chocolate every weekend, which is my splurge time. Not on Atkins, doing the Zone.
Luckily I don't have any major food addictions and it isn't a trigger for me.
It's certainly not for everyone, but I do look forward to the end of the week, I must say.
That's also when I work out more, as well, so I think it probably counteracts whatever extra ounces are generated by this aberrant behaviour!
My healthier snacks include:
A) spicy green olives (3)
OR
cheese (1 oz)
(goat milk feta; havarti; cheddar)
B) 3 or 4 raw almonds/cashews/pistachios
(roasted w/o oil are OK but
raw has more nutritional value)
C) 2 tblsp. tinned pineapple
or other low glycemic fruit
(the above three go together nicely as a protein/fat/carb combo required by the Zone and usually fill me up)
D) hummus and pappadum and a small glass of red wine
E) red wine and cheese = a perfect Zone snack (!)
F) hardboiled egg w/ a bite of cheese or mayo
and/or a slice of turkey bacon
This is why I love the Zone, because it's SO YUMMY...
