A Week in the Zone

Probably the best book to introduce anyone to the Zone Diet. It provides you with all the needed information to jump start into some new healthy nutritional habits by providing you easy to prepare recipes and food plans in a plain language. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested to learn about the Zone way of eating or anyone who wants to have a lean and healthy body.

GOOD FOR RECLAIMING GOOD HEALTH, CHOLESTEROL REDUCING AND WITH ALL THE INFORMATION IT IS A VERY GOOD AND WORTHWHILE BOOK

This diet is a bit complicated to begin with ,but, then after reading more it gets easier. i found the book intreasting and the information good and it was also good to find that this person has used this diet on himself and many others.

new look into nutrition, tried out and I think it works

Better than another more recent book that I purchased from another author. Good value and hopefully after a few more reads I may know what I am doing. Zone diet appears quite difficult to master and recipes geared to US market and palate obviously but still applicable and can be tweaked. Will visit again if it works and give higher stars. Need to read a few times before it clicks and I can understand.

Although the 'diet' itself WORKS, you will find this book very hard going. Anyone wanting to try this method needs to read either 'The 7 Day Zone Diet' or 'A Week in the Zone' NOTE These books have exactly the same content so you only need to buy ONE of them.

Was very sceptical about this but I can honestly say I've been surprised by the results! Have lost just over 7lbs in 4 wks and I can honestly say I haven't been that strict about it. Would recommend that you take on board the principles of balancing out fats, carbs and proteins in every meal and snack but DO NOT stress about measuring quantities.Also, lots of foods mentioned are American and mean nothing to us Brits.

This is a very good book! I followed the zone for years and I was in the best shape of my life. I also worked out so the results were really good.

This book was recommended by my physician 5 months ago and I honestly can tell you it is the best explanation of why people get fat int he first place--no, smart alecks, it's not just because we eat too much, though naturally that's part of it, but because we do not know how to choose and combine foods that will control our hormones, especially insulin. I've followed the principles and have lost almost 30 lbs without trying, other than to be faithful to have protein, carbs and fat at every meal and in the right ratios so that one can control the insulin intake, the uptake and to minimize excess storage. The miracle of this program (it's not a diet). is that it helps one lose FAT, not valuable muscle tissue. So to be honest, I actually looked thinner after just 2 weeks even though the scales only showed 5 lb loss. The main take-away in this program is regarding your food, your meals no differently than we do our medicines.

Great book!

If you look in the mirror and you're fat, you are probably insulin resistant. I was diagnosed with this condition a year ago. The dietician I saw gave me a very complex, difficult to follow diet. I've been looking for an easier plan and this is it. My dietician was prescribing way too many bread and rice carbs for me and it wasn't working. A Week in the Zone is a brief overview of The Zone Diet. This overview is easy to read and the plan is very easy to implement. My husband and I are already feeling better and he lost 2 lbs the first week. This is a very practical meal design, not a fad diet. The "zone" simply refers to keeping glucose and insulin levels in a safe range. My dietician had said that if I get my insulin levels in balance then the weight will come off. I'm looking forward to seeing these results. It is not a fast weight loss plan. Rather a meal design that is all about balancing veggie carbs, lean protein, and good fats for overall health.

Give you a good start on the Zone - with meals and a good explanation as to why this diet works. I have done this diet years ago with great success. I have recently been on it - not following in it to the letter but at least when I am eating something, I know what puts on the fat and what takes it off (even without exercising it works). It's very clear and gives lots of ideas and tips. The only negative is, it is limiting if you follow it exactly and you cannot keep it up forever. That's why I only take the info as a suggestion.
