This review is from: The Top 100 Zone Foods: The Zone Food Science Ranking System (Hardcover)

I followed the Zone diet a few years ago and lost 30 pounds with not too much effort. I recommend that you read his original book "The Zone" or "Mastering the Zone" (not as good) rather than relying on this book alone. It's a sensible diet that works. While you can make a hormonally correct meal with ham and ice cream, this book takes you into more nutritionally sound territory.

Be sure to read the other Zone books first so that you understand the whole idea of the program. This book will help you put more variety into your diet so that you won't get tired of it and will stay with it longer.
