For the Doctor-- Can you give me the essential lowdown on the main differences between "The Zone" method and Atkins. I was at Borders today when I discovered that there are more LC methods than I was aware. I knew about Atkins and South Beach but had never heard of The Zone. I was trying to skim through some of the material and I noticed a lot about making sure that food choices are "balanced" appropriately for weight loss and feelings of wellness. I am already feeling much better on Atkins, but I am curious about this other Low Carb method/philosophy. Please enlighten me, if you would.
