Zone Diet Review & Giveaway (3 Winners!!)

I don't know about you, but I LOVE carbs! Seriously, I could eat pasta, toast, and rice everyday. Scratch that, I DO eat that kind of stuff everyday...and it shows.

The Zone Diet allows carb lovers to indulge in these not so good to indulge in foods. It's called a diet, but it really isn't. It doesn't modify your eating habits or frequency of meals. The diet works in two main ways, by replacing the carbs found in food with protein, and by controlling cellular inflammation. To sum it up, the Zone 1-2-3 Program is based on the principle of hormonal balance. Once you achieve that balance, you will burn fat faster, have freedom from hunger, and reduce cellular inflammation that drives weight gain.

The food that makes up the Zone Diet are foods that everyone is familiar with and undoubtedly love. Things like bagels, pretzels, pasta, even cookies. You can also add nutritional bars and shakes to your diet. Other products in the Zone Diet line include: books, supplements, and skin care. They all work together to make sure you get the most benefits out of the plan.

My Opinion

I received a 2-week meal plan, the same one that people get when they join the program. I was happy to see a lot of familiar foods that I already enjoy. There were also some new ones, like bagel chips and granola. There was a handy guide that laid out meal plans, so you can get the most out of the food you are given.

For the first day, I had a garlic bagel. I couldn't believe how soft and fresh it was. It tasted just like any other garlic bagel I've eaten before. I ate it in the morning, and was shocked to realize it was after lunchtime that I still was not hungry! One bagel kept me full! For lunch I made a turkey and cheese sandwich using the multi-grain bread. Again, I couldn't believe how fresh it was, and tasty. For dinner I had some fusilli pasta. I cooked it like I normally cook pasta, and used the same tomato sauce I always do, and couldn't tell any difference. My favorite item though was the chocolate chip cookie. I know, one of the snacks, right? But I didn't feel guilty after eating this one. The chocolate chunks were huge. And again, it was fresh, soft, and chewy.

A week after I got my first box, another one arrived, right on time. This box pretty much had the same types of food, with a few differences. This one had peanut butter granola as well as the original. That was delicious! Also included was chocolate coconut cookies. I don't normally like coconut, but these were good. I've been using the croutons on my salads, and I can't wait to make a pizza with the pizza crust it came with.

The only thing in this diet I didn't really care for was the Onion Bagels. But that's probably because I can't stand onions. I tried them anyway, but I just couldn't finish it. My fiance like it though! I think this diet really could work for those that want to make it work. My favorite part about it is the fact that these foods really do fill you up, and keep you full. I'm one of those people who are always hungry and just snack on stuff all day. I can honestly say that since I've been eating this food, I haven't touched that bag of Doritos a single time!
