Zone: A Dietary Road Map

A FASCINATING, SENSIBLE READ

I just finished reading Dr. Sears' book, and I have to tell you that what he says makes a heck of a lot of sense. It's amazing the results he and his clients (and literary audience!) have had. Many people have said that the book is 'too technical,' and for those with no chemistry or biology background, it certainly is. In fact, I had to dig deep into the cobwebby recesses of my brain and find the college chem and bio I learned all those years ago. But even if you have trouble understanding how it all works, it's still worth your time to learn what the Zone is, and how a Zone-favorable diet can postively influence nearly EVERY disease state known to man. I understand, however, that subsequent Zone books are less complicated. I am also interested in reading '40-30-30 Fat Burning Nutrition (Daoust),' which I understand is the Zone principles in action, in an easy-to-use format. BOTTOM LINE: the principles of the Zone are sound. Give it a try! It's not just an effective way to lose weight, it's a pathway to FEELING BETTER, and isn't that what we all REALLY want?

Enter the Zone

Excellent resource. After years of seeing doctors without releif, the supplements and dietary instruction greatly improved my quality of life and relieved, if not discontinued, the most problematic symptoms. Fairly easy to understand even if you do not have a background in science.

25 Lbs lost and feeling great

I first encountered the 'Zone' nearly eight years ago, when introduced to the idea by a family doctor. The foods can be expensive, but Trader Joe's makes is very easy to get most of the foods you need. I've lost 25 lbs since January (6 months), with very little effort, and of that time, I spent nearly 2/3 of it not following the diet closely. When on the diet, I find I am much more energetic, heal faster from colds and bruises, and generally can think better. This isn't a diet, it really is a way of life.

This Works!!

This diet changed my life! I didn't need to lose a lot of weight, but could never get to my 'ideal' weight from college. I lost 8 lb in 8 weeks and feel like a teenager. I simply followed the principles in the book - I did not weigh and measure everything - I cheated and had pizza and dessert once a week or so, and still lost the weight! I am getting this book for my mother, my aunt, my friend who is trying to lose 10 lb after having a baby, it's great!

Taking the Power Back

Reading The Zone is perhaps the best investment you could possibly make in your health. Nobel Prize winning science discoveries are presented in a fascinating, fairly easy to understand manner; thus the average person with little to no medical background is empowered to make sophisticated, informed decisions about his or health. I was skeptical, having been turned off by the buzz around protein. It seems that new 'experts' are popping up every day with something new to say. I am so glad that I moved beyond my preconceived notions and decided to read the book. Read the book! Challenge yourself to take your health into your own hands, to take the power back. If we would all be willing to deconstruct what we THINK we believe, the world would be a better place...
