Did you know that we can eat our way to a higher quality of life? And do you know that even though people are eating less fat, they are becoming fatter; that you can burn more fat while watching TV than when exercising; that a high-carbohydrate diet could be a threat to cardiovascular disease patients; and that your quality of life depends on how you control what you eat. This book will introduce you to a brand-new concept, helping you find your lifelong health zone (THE ZONE), a state where your body operates at peak metabolic efficiency. There, you can eat without restriction but still be healthier than ever. How can you achieve permanent weight loss and optimal physical and mental performance while happily enjoying all your favorite fatty foods and fast meals? For years, experts have been telling us what to eat and what not to eat. They say fat is our enemy, along with salt, sugar, cholesterol, and so on and so on. We follow their "advice" yet keep losing—not excess fat, but our healthy shape. Why are people getting fatter and fatter? The main reason lies in our dietary habits. Based on a Nobel Prize-winning study, Dr. Barry Sears, a leading authority in the medical field and a former researcher at MIT, has successfully explained in this revolutionary book how to achieve optimal physical and mental performance and permanent weight loss—the Zone—through his high-achieving methods. Dr. Sears' approach is not complex or mysterious, nor is it as strict and demanding as most dietary guidelines. All you need to do is start with your next meal and master the ratio of protein to carbohydrates in your diet, and you can immediately embark on a journey toward permanent weight loss, optimal health, and a balanced mind and body. Open this book, open your pantry, and pick up your passport to the Zone!
