Summary
This revolutionary approach to diet was developed by a respected researcher and health consultant. It 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 and hormonally sound eating, and living, regimen.

Media Reviews
"[Sears] thoroughly trashes the no-fat Dean Ornish camp, makes mincemeat of the USDA food-group pyramid, scoffs at juicing, skips the psychology and then tells people exactly how to eat in order to lose weight: 40% carbohydrate, 30% fat, 30% protein. He is strict, he is rigid and he outlaws rice cakes and carrot sticks. Talk about revolutionary." -- Helene Siegel
-- Los Angeles Times Book Review

Publisher's Notes
For years experts have been telling Americans what to eat and what not to eat. Fat, they told us, was the enemy. Then it was salt, then sugar, then cholesterol... and on it goes. Americans listened and they lost -- but not their excess fat. What they lost was their health and waistlines. Americans are the fattest people on earth... and why? Mainly because of the food they eat. In this scientific and revolutionary book, based on Nobel Prize-winning research, medical visionary and former Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Dr. Barry Sears makes peak physical and mental performance, as well as permanent fat loss, simple for you to understand andachieve. With lists of good and bad carbohydrates, easy-to-follow food blocks and delicious recipes, The Zoneprovides all you need to begin your journey toward permanent fat loss, great health and all-round peak performance. In balance, your body will not only burn fat, but you'll fight heart disease, diabetes, PMS, chronic fatigue, depression and cancer, as well as alleviate the painful symptoms of diseases such as multiple sclerosis and HIV. This Zonestate of exceptional health is well-known to champion athletes. Your own journey toward it can begin with your next meal. You will no longer think of food as merely an item of pleasure or a means to appease hunger. Food is your medicine and your ticket to that state of ultimate body balance, strength and great health: the Zone..
