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 and achieve.

With lists of good and bad carbohydrates, easy-to-follow food blocks and delicious recipes, The Zone provides 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 Zone state 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.

After reading this, you will have gone a long way to getting your own prescription for food."-- "Muscle Media 2000""Why is the nation that follows the popular dietary rules continuing to get fatter? Dr. Barry Sears believes he has the answer, and his recent best-seller, "Enter the Zone," gives a detailed and convincing explanation. ... The exciting truth of the controversial diet is that it really just calls for balance and a lot of common sense ... the information and scientific approach just may convince you."-- "Brntwd""I've never had the progress with my clients that I've had since they've started doing the Zone. They're less hungry, less fatigued, and more productive. I've seen it work."-- Teresa Olson, celebrity trainer, in "People""I am convinced that his program was the difference in helping us take our performance to a higher level."-- Richard Quick, Stanford swim coach, in "Swim Magazine""In this scientific and revolutionary book, based on Nobel Prize-winning research, medical visionary and former MIT researcher Dr. Barry Sears makes permanent fat loss and peak physical and mental performance simple for you to understand and achieve."-- "The Light Connection""You can lose up to five pounds a week on the Zone Diet."-- Gary Morgan, celebrity trainer, in"Globe""I noticed a difference in two weeks. My weight and muscle mass didn't change, but I was dropping fat. My clothes were looser and I could see the change in my shape."-- Bill Potter, professional cyclist, in "Health & Fitness""Sears' advice flies in the face of conventional wisdom, but recent studies support his radical theories, and his credentials are solid. ... It simply takes us back to the good old days, before carbo-mania swept the land."-- "Playboy""In this book Dr. Sears provides you with a vast new array of tools, techniques, and tricks that will help you achieve superhealth. ... In following the guidelines you will look trimmer and feel more alert, and your health will be better than ever before -- and you will do it effortlessly."--" Donalsonville, GA News""Dr. Sears, a former MIT researcher, followed some Nobel prize-winning research and developed a dietary roadmap that causes permanent weight loss, is anti-aging and healthful ... These books are well worth reading, and no surprise they have sold over three million copies and just stay on the bestseller lists.""The Ellenville Press"
