Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The Zone explains in detail the underlying science behind the Zone and why you want to be there. With more than 1,000,000 hard copies in print, The Zone has been translated into nine languages and was the #1 best-selling nutrition/health book in 1996. This revolutionary approach to diet is a lifelong health program designed to bring the body into total balance. Food is not the enemy here, but rather a catalyst--the essential ingredient needed to allow the body to function at its absolute and efficient peak. This book prescribes easy-to-follow and nonrestrictive dietary guidelines based on maintaining a favorable ratio of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates--a balance that in turn stabilizes and maximizes the hormones that regulate our weight and height. The book supplies readers with charts,lists,and recipes designed to maintain a completely balanced diet.

5.0 out of 5 stars best diet book out there, October 7, 2006

By	Kevin T. Boswell "bindmoggle" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I dropped 20 pounds in about two months. I never felt hungry or irritable and I almost always feel focussed and alert when I eat according to the guidelines. If you pay attention to everything you ingest and seriously follow the guidelines, then this will definitely work for you. It's not just about losing weight, it's about maximum performance potential. It's not a no carb diet, you actually eat more carbs than protein but you'll have to eat quality, complex carbs and limit your fat intake. It's the only book I've seen that presents every side of each element of the equation: what happens if you get too much protein, fat, carbs and what if you get too little of each. It's written in easy to understand English, with very basic calculations of exactly how much YOU should eat, according to your body fat, height, weight. I've never seen another diet that makes half as much sense as this one does.

5.0 out of 5 stars zone your way to good health, March 27, 2009

By	J. arroyo "GOLF NUT" (BROOKSVILLE, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very interesting research into avoiding chronic diseases and ill health. I lost 53 lbs. over a year and feel a lot better with much more energy. The eating plans are easy and the food is good. It makes losing weight easy and you develope a plan for the rest of your life. The zone is not a diet, it is a way of eating forever.
