Good Quality Explanation of an Effective Diet

The Zone is among the most logically presented diets I have encountered. This book explains the science behind the Zone in a manner that permits the layman to begin comprehending the science. While I am not equipped to speak on the validity of the science, I am qualified to speak to its reasoning and it is both sound and logical.

The Zone is not merely about losing weight, but also improving athletic performance and establishing hormonal order in one's body. While the ultimate benefits of the hormonal balances offered with this diet (and conversely the potential harm in hormonal imbalances) are open for debate, Sears positively offers a quality explanation that would rival any medical opinion on the matter.

I can attest first hand that the diet does work provided proper diligence is applied to the proposed meal plan. However, following the diet will prove to be no easy task as even Sears' simple block plan amounts to a low calorie diet that leaves one in the same predicament of any other low calorie diet; a large requirement of willpower for long term success. If you can stick to this diet I have no doubt you will discover results, both with energy performance and weight loss.

Not the book for me

Maybe this book has been helpful for some people, but not for me. He oversimplifies and says that the Zone diet (40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat) will basically cure every disease. I was not impressed.

Boring read but has good info

My God. This book is so dry! I'm sure he is correct in what he writes, but I actually received information on his gospel from The Diet Doctor on FitTV when he was a guest.
If you are going to read his book, have a PDR and some espresso available.

This is probably the simplest way to eat. It makes sense, and it works. I have already lost about 6lbs in 2 weeks time. The meals are easy to fix and the ingredients are simple. Once you are in the "zone" you will never go back.
