The Best Explanation of Why Diets Work or Don't work.
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.

Probably the best book to introduce anyone to the Zone Diet
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.

Simplest diet ever, especially for the Insulin Resistant crowd
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.
