One week to a fitter, healthier you with the revolutionary Zone diet plan. Find out what to eat, when to eat it, and how this is better than any other high protein diet. The Zone books have sold over 4 million worldwide. Dr Barry Sears is the author of The Zone, the revolutionary, multi million copy selling diet plan based on Nobel Prize-winning research. The Zone prescribes a diet designed to maximise optimal metabolic function (that means BURN MORE CALORIES) by eating more proteins and good fats, and few high glycaemic-index (GI) carbohydrates. Thousands testify that it works. The 7 Day Zone Diet is a perfect introduction to the Zone style of eating and is the first ever 7 day low-carb diet plan. The Zone is different from other low-carb diets in that it does not encourage 'no carb' and always insists on proteins that are low in saturated fat. Other 'high protein' diets lump all 'carbs' together as 'bad' and let the dieter eat as much fat as they like. This introductory Zone guide includes: - how to eat in the Zone - how to shop in the Zone - 7 days worth of healthy, satisfying recipes including quick and easy Zone breakfasts, lunches and dinners - the Zone for vegetarians - eating out in the Zone

Maintaining physical and mental performance with a revolutionary diet that helps prevent age-related diseases. Sears explains that it is possible to reverse our 'biological' age (which is different to our 'chronological' age) if we look at our hormones and our diet. It is crucial to maintain the right balance of hormones in our bodies - ageing is not necessarily about the decreasing of certain hormones but rather how they effectively communicate with each other to maintain equilibrium. The Zone is a revolutionary diet plan which advocates a lower intake of carbohydrates which convert to sugar creating a diabetic-like condition. If we eat more protein and monosaturate fats we enter the Zone of optimum metabolic function. This diet has been proven in preventing age-related diseases: heart disease and diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes largely occurs in older age). Sears explores the activity of hormones as we age and gives a dietary plan (and supplement advice) to maintain peak performance: * calorie restriction without hunger or deprivation * insulin, cortisol, seratonin and eicosanoids * oestrogen and the menopause * testosterone as men and women age * DHEA, melatonin - are these hormonal supplements merely hype? * your thyroid gland and how it affects metabolism * exercise and the anti-ageing Zone lifestyle 'pyramid'
