The Zone and a gastric bypass
Last Updated Aug 2007
Q: I had a gastric bypass three years ago. I've lost 100 pounds but still have 60 to
go and can't get rid of it. How will the Zone work for me? Are there some special
things I need to do? What supplements should I take?
A: The Zone Diet is ideally suited for losing the last 60 pounds. I would also
recommend taking about 5-7 grams of EPA and DHA after each meal to reduce the
impact of hormones in the brain that lead to increased hunger. Our work with
Manuel Uribe of Monterrey, Mexico, (formerly the heaviest man in the world)
indicates the combination of the two approaches is very successful. (Visit the
Zoneliving.com articles section for more on Manuel.)
