Format:Paperback
I've not come across 'The Zone' before but it was recommended in another book I read and even though I wasn't planning on following the diet I thought the recipes would come in useful.
The diet looked complicated and some of the food combinations looked quite bizarre. The main problem I had was trying to translate everything from American to English. I didn't realise that this would be as American as it is having bought it from Amazon.co.uk but a lot of the cookery terms are not familiar and measurements are in cups rather than ounces/grams.
Some of the recipes do look good but I doubt I'll be using many of them. I was hoping for something simple and I don't think this is it.

Unfortunately I thought that this would be the solution to my hormonal problems but the recipes are based on American products and have some very unusual ingredients. The ingredients would cost a fortune to buy and I do not see that I would just have anything in my grocery cupboard on the off chance. I think it will remain on my shelf as an ornament.

This Works
1 Mar 2005
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Few books prompt me to want to TELL THE WORLD because it may make a big difference in the quality of life of anyone who reads it. This is the first time that I have tried the Zone diet and fish oil supplements so it was all news to me and makes sense. I don't usually buy recipe books but this is more of a guide to balanced eating using raw foods, canned/frozen food, and even restaurant visits. The authors seem to realize that I don't have the time or talent to deal with exotic food preparation. Rather than a long list of food to avoid, this book explains which foods are good, better, and best along with balanced quantities.
Don't underestimate the health effects of the right food if you are currently in pain or taking any medications this book could change your life! A high cholesterol report and watching Morgan Spurlock's movie, Super Size Me, prompted me to pursue some changes in my diet. In the month since entering the Zone I have discontinued Sudafed use (after years on it) and my husband is off of glucosamine and pain free. Plus, we are not hungry, have energy, and sleep better than before. This book ended the confusion I felt about what to eat. I found it very helpful.

the ZONE Book I've Been Waiting For!
20 Feb 2004
Format:Hardcover
This is the Zone book I've been waiting for since the first book came out. Dr. Sears' wife, Lynn Sears, shows simple, easy-to-cook recipes. My favorite was a story she recounted about not wanting to cook one night, so she just put soy crumbles over olive oil in a pan, added a jar of salsa & stirred in a can of black beans, heated it and then sprinkled grated cheese on it.
Not only are the recipes easy and fast, she explains how to look at labels on foods to figure out blocks, how to easily eat out in the Zone using the 'eyeball method' and how to Zone during holidays and special occations. This book is my ZONE BIBLE. Thank you, Lynn & Dr. Sears!

The Zone, Not Just a Diet but a Holistic Approach to Life
28 Feb 2004
Format:Hardcover
The Zone has been a life saver for my husband and myself(ages 56). We have learned to "eyeball" meals when eating out; and when in a hurry at home we now have this book which gives so many good recipes and ideas for us to experiment with. As with anything it takes a while to change old patterns but the Zone is wonderful. In fact we have gone vegetarian/fish and dairy included so the Zone helps us to keep a good balance of protein, carbs and fats. Using the blender to grind oatmeal was worth the price of the book. It makes great Zone pancakes, I use it instead of crackers in casseroles.
I've made it a game and also we now treat food as medicine. We stay on the Zone at least 80 % of the time. As Dr. Sears says" one is only a meal away from the Zone", so it is not like being on a diet but learning how to eat better. With diabetes on the rise I look at the Zone as way to stay healthy. We have more energy!
The Zone, which includes : diet, exercise, meditation, and fish oil is a satisfying way to live!
