Product Description

Dr Barry Sears takes you on a tour of the top 100 Zone foods, offering capsule summaries of their nutritional benefits, along with delicious recipes and Zone Food Block information for each food item.

Being in the Zone has just been made easier now that The Top 100 Zone Foods is available as a convenient mass market paperback. Dr Barry Sears selects the top 100 Zone foods and shows you how to mix and match them to form perfectly balanced Zone Meals. For each food item there is a brief description of its health and nutritional bragging points followed by one or two easy–to–prepare Zone–approved recipes and the appropriate Zone Block information for foolproof Zone cooking.

After explaining how to enter and stay in the Zone, Dr Sears shows why not all foods are created equal – at least from a nutritional and hormonal point of view. Organising the Top 100 into protein, carbohydrates and fats, he shows you how to combine your favourite foods to form hundreds of appropriately balanced and deliciously prepared meals such as Prawn Scampi with Vegetables, Mediterranean–Style Chicken, Spinach Feta Pie, Lemon Meringue, and Strawberry Mousse.

Customer Reviews

waste of money
i am a zone follower and i think that the zone is a great lifestyle to follow but i was defintetly disappointed in this book. all of dr. sears other books about the zone have been great but i found this book to be a repeat of the other books.. i wish i had of saved my money....i would suggest everyone buy a week in the zone..it is a great book...much better buy than this book!

Worked for me
I followed the Zone diet a few years ago and lost 30 pounds with not too much effort. I recommend that you read his original book "The Zone" or "Mastering the Zone" (not as good) rather than relying on this book alone. It's a sensible diet that works. While you can make a hormonally correct meal with ham and ice cream, this book takes you into more nutritionally sound territory.

The Zone Works
Be sure to read the other Zone books first so that you understand the whole idea of the program. This book will help you put more variety into your diet so that you won't get tired of it and will stay with it longer.
