"This food plan is all about insulin and keeping your insulin production 'in the zone.' Dr. Sears claims - and cites research - that insulin is the culprit in weight gain and fat 'maintenance' and in many of the more serious health problems, like heart disease. I was kind of excited by this theory - at first. This is NOT a high protein diet and I am surprised that it calls it a low-carb diet on the cover, because it is actually high carb, since he counts the carbs in fruits and veggies and what this really is is a high veggie diet :) My concern started when it appeared that basically all grain carbs were no-nos, except for long cooking, steel cut oats. If you combined this food plan with the glycemic index plan, it would probably be better. On a production note, there were some glaring typos that I can't believe made it to print - typos that said just the opposite of what he was trying to say! And in the back, explaining some food counts: a woman would eat 30 grams of carbohydrates at a meal - 3 or 4 cups of broccoli is 10 grams, so 9 to 12 cups of broccoli at a serving? Even if you divided up the carb count, that was still over kill and NONE of the veggie heavy meals had that much. Big oops, I think. Dr. Sears also ranted for awhile in one chapter about how the media refers to 'The Zone' as a high protein diet. Clearly it is not, so I can understand his distress, but publishing a whole chapter (well, not quite the entire chapter) to ranting seemed childish. Of all the Zone books he has published, this one was pretty easy to understand the hows and whys of the system. Even he says not to read 'The Zone' first, as that was written for doctors and is pretty scientific."
"This is the book I recommend to anyone who is pre-diabetic like myself. Keeps blood sugar in control while helping lose weight slowly and comfortably. Recommends lots of fruits and vegetables paired with low fat protein and good fats. This is an easy afternoon read that gave me all that I needed to understand and start eating right."
"Dr. Sears dietary theories focus on low-carbohydrates to lose weight makes some reasonable recommendations. A sensible diet. His focus on disease prevention, blood sugar and insulin control and increasing longevity are worth considering."
"Another great read to help you understand your body, how you body works and what you can do to get your body to do what you want. The recipes are okay in this book but after you learn the concepts you can easily change your favorite recipes and make them zoned. I love zoned recipes because you feel satisfied for hours and you don't have the urges to snack all the time."
