~ CLOSED ~ The ZoneFast Weight Loss Program - Review and Giveaway

Like many people I have been trying to lose a few pounds and keep it off.  My plan has been trying to eat healthier and going for daily 30 - 45 minute walks.  I find walking to be not only great exercise but also very relaxing.

I recently had the opportunity to review 2 weeks’ worth of  ZoneFast foods .  To be completely honest, I was a bit worried and not quite sure what to expect.  However, being a carboholic and knowing I had nothing to lose (except, hopefully, a few pounds) I agreed to review a two-week Zone Fast Program from Dr. Sears.

I was very surprised by all the great products in both of the one week shipments. The shipment also contained a recipe booklet, convenient one pack per day nutrients that amplify Zone Foods’ anti-inflammatory effects and a two week menu plan.  You augment the foods you received with fresh fruits, vegetables and proteins.  You have to refrigerate all the bread and brownies upon delivery to maintain freshness or freeze those items within the first three days.  That’s because the food is fresh, made with a patented baking technology, and will spoil if not eaten.

Cellular Inflammation - The Problem  

Cellular inflammation is what makes us gain weight, accelerate the development of chronic disease, and decrease our physical performance. Although this type of inflammation is below the perception of pain, you can measure it and according to Dr. Sears, more than 90% of us have high levels of it.  If the levels of cellular inflammation remain elevated, it can become a silent killer.

Apparently, there is no drug that can reverse cellular inflammation. It is caused by the diet and can only be effectively reversed by an anti-inflammatory diet.

Zone Diet - The Solution

The Zone Diet is clinically proven to reverse cellular inflammation by maintaining the inflammatory hormones generated by the food we eat within a Zone that is not high, but not too low.

Essentially, Zone eating consists of balancing protein, fat and carbohydrates in every meal to control insulin production and help the body burn excess fat more efficiently. The diet also recommends limiting processed carbohydrates like grain products, starchy vegetables like potatoes and corn, and sugar. and drinking plenty of water.

During the two weeks that I followed the Zone 1-2-3 program, (I have to come clean, I did cheat a couple times) I would estimate that I lost 4 or 5 pounds. I'm not entirely sure as I threw my scale out about three years ago and vowed to never again own one. But, my clothes seemed to fit better and didn't feel as tight.  I also felt increased energy and the motivation to keep going with a healthy diet and exercise regime.
