What do our Olympic heroes, the cast of Baywatch,
Madonna, and thousands of other trim and healthy people around
the country have in common? They're all in "The Zone."
According to Dr. Barry Sears, "The Zone" is
"that mysterious but very real state in which your body and
mind work together at their ultimate best." Based on Nobel
Prize-winning research, this book helps readers reach this state
by teaching them groundbreaking nutritional principles.
The basic premise is simple: calorie counting doesn't work.
Maintaining the correct ratio of fats (yes, fats), proteins, and
carbohydrates is what's important.
Designed to take the reader beyond wellness and into truly
optimal health, Dr. Sears' life plan helps people lose weight
permanently, avoid disease, enhance mental productivity, achieve
maximum physical performance, and balance and control hormone
and insulin levels.
The plan is easy to follow--there are no rigid menus, just
clear, sensible guidelines on how to create a personal nutrition
program. With sample recipes (such as old-fashioned oatmeal and
salmon mousse), a list of good and bad carbohydrates,
recommendations on convenience foods, and tips on eating out are
also included.
