The Complete Plan to Revolutionize Your Diet and Your Life
THE ZONE is the revolutionary diet plan based on Nobel-prize winning research that has been adopted by celebrities including Madonna, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Demi Moore, Caprice Bouquet, Barry Mannilow, and more. Copies of Sears’s books ENTER THE ZONE and MASTERING THE ZONE have sold more than 2 million copies.
Finally, this plan is being adapted to the British palate and cupboard. All 150 recipes in this book will be anglicized and will make The ZONE more accessible than ever before. Dr. Sears is writing a new introduction for the UK marketplace.
In short, THE ZONE goes against recently received wisdom about the health benefits of low-fat high-carbohydrate diets and suggests that if we continue to eat a lot of grains we will simply get fatter. Sears contends that too much carbohydrate (which converts to sugar) upsets our delicate hormonal balance and throws us into a constant sugar-craving state and gives rise to a diabetic-like condition. By balancing our diet and eating more protein and fat we enter a Zone of optimum metabolic function and peak performance. Eating in THE ZONE will not only burn fat but it will also fight heart disease, diabetes, PMS, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression and more.

Brilliant practical exposition of diet and hormonal balance,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Zone Diet (Paperback)
Whether or not you follow all the rather whacky recipes given in this book, the basic message is clear and important - there is more to dieting and healthy eating than simple calorie control. This book explains the important influences of food on hormone balance and how this in turn affects general health and wellbeing. The sections on food choice and dietary supplementation are excellent. This is not another 'fad' diet book - it is serious, sensible and scientific and contains valuable advice for everybody interested in having a healthy, balanced diet.

It worked for me, although it took a while.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Zone Diet (Paperback)
I started this diet a few months before I was about to get married. At first it seemed pretty slow. I wasn't really loosing weight. But I stuck at it and I the few pounds I was trying to shed. I also noticed that the IBS that I've suffered from for years cleared up and I felt great with loads of energy. Unfortunately though this didn't last and I developed gastritis. I'm not entirely sure whether this was anything to do with the diet but now I'm trying to get rid of it I'm on a low fat diet with less protein. The only real problem with the book is the recipes. There really isn't anything very inspiring or tasty in there.

EATING IN A SET WAY - NEEDS ORGANISATION,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Zone Diet (Paperback)
I FOUND IT QUITE HARD TO GET USED TO THE EATING PATTERN. IT IS NOT A STRAIGHT FORWARD DIET SAYING DO NOT EAT THIS AND THIS. YOU HAVE TO EAT EXACT AMOUNTS OF PROTEIN, CARBS AND FAT AT EACH MEAL, AND NOT HAVE LARGE TIME LAPSES BETWEEN MEALS. IF YOU SKIP MEALS OR LIKE CONVENIENCE FOOD THIS IS NOT THE DIET FOR YOU. IF YOU HAVE TIME TO PLAN YOUR MEALS IT IS A VERY HEALTHY DIET.
