The ZoneFast Diet Review and Giveaway!

Do you struggle with your weight? According to the World Health Organization, worldwide obesity rates have more than doubled since 1980, with roughly 346 million people suffering from diabetes because of obesity. Don't let yourself become a statistic....do something about it!

A bit about the Zone Diet

 Dr. Barry Sears founded Zone Labs in 1999 and found that by reducing cellular inflammation you can lose fat and increase wellness. With the Zone Diet you can lose weight eating the foods you love like bread, pasta, pizza, cookies, brownies, and more. All you need to do is substitute the specially designed Zone Foods for what you already eat.

Zone Diet's Revolutionary Approach

What if everything you have been told about weight gain and weight loss is wrong? This would begin to explain why we seem so powerless against the growing obesity epidemic.

 Weight gain is not due to a lack of willpower.

What makes us fat and keeps us fat is caused by subtle changes in our diet that have caused inflammation that affects hormonal communication. 

To re-establish this communication, you need adequate protein at every meal to induce satiety, to reduce the intake of carbohydrates to maintain the hormone insulin in a zone that is not too high, but not too low, and finally to dramatically lower the levels of omega-6 fatty acids in the diet to reduce inflammation.

Although the Zone Food products look and taste like typical comfort foods, they are so unique that they can only be made through Zone's patented baking technology. The key lies in removing much of the carbohydrate and replacing it with protein while retaining great taste. Without these patented Zone Foods, it becomes very difficult to maintain the critical balance of protein, carbohydrate, and fat necessary to maintain hormonal balance from meal to meal. That's the only way to truly control inflammation.

My Review

   I was sent two weeks of the ZoneFast Weight Loss Program {Retail Value $179} for my mother to review. My mother has struggled with her weight ever since she had my sister back in 1986. My Mother had to be on bed rest with her pregnancies and a result of that was extra weight gain. My Mom has lost the extra pounds a few times over the years but unfortunately the lbs. have always come back one by one. My Mom has an especially hard time loosing weight now that she is older and she has went through breast cancer. Exercising is difficult as is finding the time and the means to eat properly. When I showed my Mother the ZoneFast Weight Loss box I received for her to review she was shocked at how much food was included in the package. The box came fully equipped with everything she needed  start on her weight loss journey. Included in the package are Daily Essentials which are basically high-purity OmegaRx and Zone Polyphenols {what the Daily Essentials do is provide all the essential nutrients that amplify the ability of Zone Foods to reduce cellular inflammation}. Also included in the box are yummy starchy snacks, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Now I know what you are thinking...when trying to loose weight you are supposed to stay away from starchy foods...right? WRONG! With the ZoneFast Weight Loss Program they use their patented baking technology to replace much of the carbohydrates with protein while still maintaining the original taste and texture. Also included is a meal plan with recipes to help you prepare different meals using the ingredients provided {and the ingredients you can purchase on your own}-I really like this because unlike other diets the ZoneFast Program lets you prepare the food yourself. My Mom was hesitant to try the ZoneFast Diet because of the problems she has faced with other diets  in the past but she really has enjoyed the ZoneFast Program...not only is the food yummy but it doesn't leave her feeling hungry all the time. My mom is a big pasta lover so she really enjoyed the pasta. She also loved the Cinnamon Bread, Cookies, and Flatbread.

My mom thinks she is going to continue on the Zone Diet and see how she does...so far she is feeling great. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking to loose weight-the food tastes great {I got to sample a bit of my mom's meal} and unlike many other diets you won't feel hungry all the time. Pairing the ZoneFast Weight Loss Diet with exercise and other healthy foods {fruits, vegetables, etc.} is highly recommended.
