The Zone Diet Book In Excellent Condition-Hardback By Dr. Barry Seats

Practically New condition! Here is the description from the inside cover and the back of the book. “ Bye-bye, pasta. . So long, rice. ... Ob, and about that baked potato and bread for lunch? Get out the tuna! It's time to achieve lasting fat loss, great health and peak athletic, mental and emotional performance. It's time to enter The Zone. 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 MIT researcher Dr. Barry Sears makes peak physical and mental perfor- mance, as well as permanent fat loss, simple for you to understand and to achieve. For instance, did you know that your genes haven't changed for the past 100,000 years? And that 8,000 years ago there were no grains, bread or pasta? The evolution of man's digestive system has been based on a diet of low-fat protein and low-density carbohydrate fruits and fiber-rich vegetables. What that now means for us is that we should still be eating like cavemen and not like cows. Why? Because genetically, mankind has not evolved to a stage at which we can con- sume excessive amounts of grains and breads without adverse biochemical consequences. 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. Dr. BARRy SEARs is recognized as one of the world's leading medical researchers on the hormonal effects of food. He is also the author of Mastering the Zone, Zone-Perfect Meals in Minutes, Zone Food Blocks, A Week in the Zone, The Age-Free Zone, The Top 100 Zone Foods, The Soy Zone, The Omega R Zone, Zone Meals in Seconds, What to Eat in the Zone, and The Anti-Inflammation Zone.
