If you did well on Atkins and the reasons you quit are known
to be invalid, why not go back to what worked?

I don't know The Zone well enough to answer your questions,
but if your food takes you below some number of protein grams
it becomes a problem. So I think it depends on how much
less you mean.

Which goes back to why the writings on anti-Atkins folks are
not valid so should be ignored.
Sorry but The Zone isn't popular enough to get a lot of traffic
so I haven't learned enough about it to give better answers. It
seems a fine program when followed per its directions.
