What is The Zone diet?

The Zone diet is a book and an eating plan 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. In his first book, The Zone, Dr. Sears describes the hormonal effects of foods we eat. He details how excess carbohydrates or calories increase blood sugar which leads to dangerous effects from increased insulin levels. You MUST read this magnificent book! Many 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.

"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.

Mini tutorials:  See two short tutorial pages on the Zone and on the ZoneRunner program (how to use recipes as ingredients in other recipes).

Another favorite web site is Karen's Kitchen. It's a great site, she's a really nice person and she has some great stuff! Amongst other things, I ordered her scoops, four stainless ice cream scoop-like devices for dishing up correct serving sizes from one Tbsp to 1/2 Cup, and use them all the time. She has a really friendly and helpful discussion group too.

There are a lot of Zone sites and I don't mean to intentionally pass over any!!! More links will come soon. There is too much too say about the Zone diet for this web site at this time. I am concentrating on making good Zone diet software; 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 the free version of ZoneRunner and come back and visit.
