The recipies in this book are so bland. Not only that, they are a lot of work for ONE serving of food! I really hoped to find some Zone cassarole type of food that could be reheated throughout the week. There is nothing like that. I made a meat stew that was practically inedible. For breakfast they had me using a food processor just to mash up some blueberries, which didn't make the dish taste any different than just using whole blueberries--but created a lot more stuff to wash! Most of the breakfasts are either omelets or yogurt & cottage cheese with different combinations of fruit and nuts. Big whoop.
This book was a waste of money!

Recipes in this book are not too exciting. The medical information in Sears books are always good and the book has some redeeming value because of it. I just wasn't pleased with the recipes at all. I regret purchasing the book. Should have checked it out of the library instead....

This is the Zone book I've been waiting for since the first book came out. Dr. Sears' wife, Lynn Sears, shows simple, easy-to-cook recipes. My favorite was a story she recounted about not wanting to cook one night, so she just put soy crumbles over olive oil in a pan, added a jar of salsa & stirred in a can of black beans, heated it and then sprinkled grated cheese on it.
Not only are the recipes easy and fast, she explains how to look at labels on foods to figure out blocks, how to easily eat out in the Zone using the 'eyeball method' and how to Zone during holidays and special occations. This book is my ZONE BIBLE. Thank you, Lynn & Dr. Sears!

The Zone has been a life saver for my husband and myself(ages 56). We have learned to "eyeball" meals when eating out; and when in a hurry at home we now have this book which gives so many good recipes and ideas for us to experiment with. As with anything it takes a while to change old patterns but the Zone is wonderful. In fact we have gone vegetarian/fish and dairy included so the Zone helps us to keep a good balance of protein, carbs and fats. Using the blender to grind oatmeal was worth the price of the book. It makes great Zone pancakes, I use it instead of crackers in casseroles.
I've made it a game and also we now treat food as medicine. We stay on the Zone at least 80 % of the time. As Dr. Sears says" one is only a meal away from the Zone", so it is not like being on a diet but learning how to eat better. With diabetes on the rise I look at the Zone as way to stay healthy. We have more energy!
The Zone, which includes : diet, exercise, meditation, and fish oil is a satisfying way to live!

When I had originally placed the order, my email said I would get it by March 6th. I put in a request at Mar 8th to find out where my order was and was told from the seller that it had left Feb 18th and if I do not get it by Mar 16th to let them know. I received it Mar 14th but why tell me originally that I was going to get it on Mar 6th? This is the second time that this has happened through Amazon through 2 different sellers so I am questioning Amazon and their estimated delivery times...not necessarily the sellers.
The book arrived in great condition and I am very please with it!
