Enter the Zone
 | author: Barry, Ph. D. Sears asin: 2570435260 binding: Hardcover |
The Zone explains in detail the underlying science behind the Zone and why you want to be there. With more than 1,000,000 hard copies in print, The Zone has been translated into nine languages and was the #1 best-selling nutrition/health book in 1996. This revolutionary approach to diet is a lifelong health program designed to bring the body into total balance. Food is not the enemy here, but rather a catalyst--the essential ingredient needed to allow the body to function at its absolute and efficient peak.

 | author: Barry Sears asin: 0060392428 binding: Hardcover list price: $19.00 USD amazon price: $14.82 USD |
Here's the follow-up to The Zone and Mastering the Zone. Author Barry Sears, Ph.D., has formulated a way for readers to follow his diet plan (30 percent fat, 40 percent each carbohydrates and protein) by breaking down foods into measurable units, à la Weight Watchers. It's designed to make eating on the run--even if you're stopping at McDonald's--a Zone-friendly experience. But it's not exactly a piece of cake.
Anyone who hated word problems in math class may be slightly baffled by the necessary calculations for foods not listed in the charts.

 | author: Diana Schwarzbein Nancy Deville asin: 1558746803 binding: Paperback list price: $14.95 USD amazon price: $10.17 USD |
From her work with insulin-resistant patients with Type II diabetes, Dr. Schwarzbein concludes that low-fat diets cause heart attacks, eating fat makes you lose body fat, and it's important to eat high-cholesterol foods every day. Picture cardiologists and dieticians tearing their hair out and overweight people cheering as they dive into Eggs Benedict with sausage.
Protein Power: The High-Protein/Low-Carbohydrate Way to Lose Weight, Feel Fit, and Boost Your Health--in Just Weeks!
 | author: Michael R. Eades Mary Dan Eades asin: 0553380788 binding: Paperback list price: $16.00 USD amazon price: $10.88 USD |
If smoked salmon and cream cheese omelets, sautéed jumbo shrimp, and double-patty burgers suit your palate, belly up to the Protein Power diet: "Not a high protein diet" but "an adequate protein diet." Doctors Michael R. and Mary Dan Eades make a persuasive case in favor of "the diet we were meant to eat."
Similar to Dr. Robert Atkins's New Diet Revolution, the authors cite insulin as the main culprit in weight gain and expound the benefits of a diet extremely low in carbohydrates.

Atkins plan phases, research, recipes and more.
Please note: Although the Atkins site advocates the use of prepackaged, low carb specialty foods during any phase of your plan, we've discovered people are far more successful when they eliminate or carefully limit use of these items, sometimes referred to as "Frankenfoods" here at LCE. Experimentation is required as different choices impact individuals differently.
