I lost weight and gained energy as everyone else has but what is most remarkable for me has been the fact that I haven't caught a cold for six or seven winters straight. For the same number of years, I haven't suffered the annoying pain of mouth sores, canker sores or cold sores (I think these are all words used to describe the same annoyance), which I normally had to endure about four times a year.
I'm not a perfect Zoner, but I follow the method as best as I can. The general Zone guidelines of increased quality fruits and vegetables, healthy fats and reduced quality protein are generally what I go by. Only recently have I begun taking Dr. Sears’ fish oil which I ordered through the Tokyo Zone Store.
I'll be turning 59 in August, but my students guess that I'm 10 to 15 years younger due to my looks and energy level.
I finally got my wife, who is Japanese, to follow the diet with me, and she has also benefited in similar ways.
Thank you very much.
