This is one of only 2 general nutrition-related books that I recommend when asked. The Zone makes much sense, and is much easier to apply and stick with than nearly all of the others. It just takes a little understanding and a desire to implement it.
There are many applications to various diseases in the book, including arthritis, cancer, diabetes, chronic fatigue and more. The recipes are delicious and very helpful (you can also purchase a separate volume which includes many recipes). In order to be thorough, there is quite a bit of technical information - but you don't have to fully understand that detailed information to incorporate the principles of the program.
I do take exception to the author's recommendations to use synthetic foods such as protein powders. Our bodies do not know how to assimilate artificial ingredients, so these "pretend foods" can be extremely harmful to our long-term health. Be very cautious if choosing to use such products, and use only the very highest quality, whole-food products possible.
The Zone Diet is recommended by opus88
