The zone diet is effective, easy to follow, and safe. It will help with more then simple weight issues, including diabetes, and joint pain. The premise of the diet is that at each meal you should consume approximately 10 grams of fat, 20 grams of protein (2x the fat grams) and 30 grams of carbohydrate (3x the fat grams). The carbs are from fruits and vegatables, little or no bread, pasta, or potatoes. The rest of the diets that cite glycemic index are variations of the zone diet.  Everything you need for this diet can be purchased at a regular grocery store, and the diet (including a full... read full review »

The Zone is not a "diet", but a new and healthy way of thinking about your relationship with food. Based on the personal experiences of my husband and me, it works. I just needed to loose weight and feel healthier. My husband developed Type II Diabetes and began having trouble with his eyes. We had dabbled with the Zone several before, but this time we knew we needed to do more than dabble, especially for my husband's health issues. We just refreshed ourselves with the basics, made some simple changes, and good things have begun to happen, including my weight loss has begun, greatly reducing my...

I've read many books about diet programs. I am not dieting to lose weight - I have chronic health difficulties that require me to be very conscious and cautious of what I eat.

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...

I tried Sears' Zone after a friend recommended it. I was training for a powerlifting meet and a sprint triathlon, and was interested in finding out if changing my eating habits could improve my training. I ate more than the recommended number of blocks because I was doing a lot of training. I only lost a few pounds (I wasn't trying to), but my body composition changed to significantly leaner. I performed well in both events I was training for.

Although the blocks can be overwhelming at first, after a couple weeks I rarely had to look up how much of a given food I shoudl be eating. I thought that...

As a veteran dieter- yo-yo Lady- I finally gave up and had gastric bypass.; I finally learned that DIETS DO NOT WORK. The word "diet" implies a limited time period, NOT permanance. I have read about this plan, and if you followed it forever, its a healthy meal plan BUT are you really gonna eat this way.......your whole life? Doubt it. The Zone  is a decent way to eat but puhleeze dont think of it as a "diet"!

The Zone eating program is easy to use once you get the hang of it.  It took about one week.  The recipes are delicious.  I am diabetic and will soon be off of my blood sugar medication.  The concept is to keep your body's insulin even throughout the day.  This  helps control my blood sugar, has lowered my choleterol, and I have lost 30 pounds in 3 months.  The added benefits are increased energy, better sleep, and probably some I haven't even found out about yet.

There is an easy block program that you can use anywhere.  It took about a week to feel comfortable with it.  You just eat...

I HAVE BEEN A PERSONAL TRAINER FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND HAVE SEEN MANY SO CALLED "DIETS".  THIS IS THE ONE THAT MAKES SENSE AND WORKS.  IT'S A SENSIBLE, HEALTHY WAY OF EATING THAT YOU CAN USE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE -- NOT SOMETHING YOU DO FOR 4 WEEKS.  IT TEACHES YOU HOW TO EAT BALANCED, NUTRITIOUS MEALS.  MYSELF, CO-WORKERS, CLIENTS HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR YEARS & IT HAS HELPED US STAY IN SHAPE IN A HEALTHY WAY.

I've been on many diets, mostly related to staying healthy.  This one makes the most sense to me in a long-term health way.  You can eat what you want, you just have to focus on portions.  I tend to eat fairly healthfully, but I like to splurge as much as anyone else.  It's nice to not feel guilty when I do.  When you fall off the train, just hop back on at the next meal.

The zone isnt some gimmicky diet. Its a real life eating plan. It helps you understand portions, good fats, protein, carbs and sugar in a realistic sense. Most people don't understand the basics and that's why their diets fail. This book teaches you what you need to know to flourish and befriend food.

I read this book when it first came out years ago and still follow the basic principles of a lean protein, small amount of bread or pasta, and many vegetables at each meal.  It's the only way I can maintain my weight and is a no-brainer
