The Zone diet is an eating plan (and a book) that outlines possibly the best health advice available to us mere mortals. The book, The Zone, and the entire concept of the Zone diet, are the brainchild of Dr. Barry Sears, PhD.

In his first book Dr. Sears describes the hormonal effects of foods we eat. He details how excess carbohydrates or calories increase the blood's glucose level which leads to dangerous effects from increased insulin. You MUST read this magnificent book! Many thousands of people are reaping the benefits. In a later book, The Anti-Aging Zone, Barry Sears teaches us more about calorie restriction, how it has been proven to radically increase animal life spans, why it works, and why it will work for you. Other books, such as Mastering The Zone and A Week In The Zone, simplify the whole process

"The Zone", and "Zone diet", used in context of the research of Dr. Barry Sears, is copyrighted by Dr. Barry Sears. To find out more about the Zone please visit the official Zone web sites. They have an excellent discussion group, other professional opinions, recipes, advice, etc.

Learning about the Zone Diet
The Zonaware web site and ZoneRunner cannot really teach you about the Zone Diet. You need to read the books! Zonaware is concentrating on making good Zone diet software to help you reach your goals. Please join one of the discussion groups mentioned and READ Dr. Sears' books! Come back here for software support to help you reach your goals. The Zone diet is technical and utilizing technology has never been more important in nutrition than it is in the ZONE diet. Hope you like ZoneRunner and come back and visit.
