This food plan is all about insulin and keeping your insulin production 'in the zone.' Dr. Sears claims - and cites research - that insulin is the culprit in weight gain and fat 'maintenance' and in many of the more serious health problems, like heart disease. I was kind of excited by this theory - at first. This is NOT a high protein diet and I am surprised that it calls it a low-carb diet on the cover, because it is actually high carb, since he counts the carbs in fruits and veggies and what ...more
Started, and finished today. Apparently THIS is how I am going to add back carbs into my diet after being without for 10 days. It makes sense.
Susan Schultz' favorite diet
changed my body and my life.
Interesting..
very useful
Another great read to help you understand your body, how you body works and what you can do to get your body to do what you want. The recipes are okay in this book but after you learn the concepts you can easily change your favorite recipes and make them zoned. I love zoned recipes because you feel satisfied for hours and you don't have the urges to snack all the time.

A friend sent this to me as a source for nutrition information with regards to changing one's diet. I found it slightly useful, but I did not pay much heed to the actual "Zone" diet itself. Some of the information did supplement other reading and research I have been doing, but the book consists largely of recipes and information pertinent to the Zone diet.
Dr. Sears dietary theories focus on low-carbohydrates to lose weight makes some reasonable recommendations. A sensible diet. His focus on disease prevention, blood sugar and insulin control and increasing longevity are worth considering.
The easy read on principles of the Zone diet
I am at my best when I follow this plan.
