What Should I Eat?
In plain language, base your diet on garden vegetables, especially greens, lean meats, nuts and seeds, little starch, and no sugar. That’s about as simple as we can get. Many have observed that keeping your grocery cart to the perimeter of the grocery store while avoiding the aisles is a great way to protect your health. Food is perishable. The stuff with long shelf life is all suspect. If you follow these simple guidelines you will benefit from nearly all that can be achieved through nutrition. View more

Zone Nutrition Programme Testimonial
Pippa Innes, Gym owner, manager and personal trainer
“Over the last few months I have had many gym members undergo an 8 week nutrition and exercise programme. We used the Zone eating plan as we had earlier tested it in the Gym with a number of volunteers. In the 6 week study the Zone Diet gave better and more reliable results than the conventional, low fat high carbohydrate diet that we tested it against. It was also the preferred diet by all participants who had experienced both eating plans.” View More
The Zone Diet – Coaching and Seminars
The Zone diet is a new way of looking at food; each time you eat, the food in your meal starts a cascade of hormonal responses, which can either help or harm you. The Zone diet is based on triggering the ideal balance of hormones so fat loss in maximised, inflammation reduced and health improved.
The Zone diet is based on eating the macronutrients; protein, carbohydrate and fat in the ratio and quality we were genetically designed to eat. It is a scientifically validated eating plan. View More

Author: Julianne Taylor – 24 July 2009
Perhaps the thought of going on a ‘diet’ and fitting it in with family meals seems a daunting prospect.
Many people with partners or families are concerned that if they take on the Zone eating plan they will need to make separate meals for themselves and other family members. View More
Dr. Sears Speaks at CrossFit Conference
Dr Sears - Zone Diet
More than 15 years ago Dr. Sears started working with Greg Glassman, the founder of CrossFit, to integrate his Zone Diet with the innovative fitness programs Greg was developing for total functional fitness. At the time, the Zone Diet and the CrossFit training methods were both highly controversial since they challenged the basic assumptions of how diet and physical training should be done. Once Greg started introducing the Zone Diet concept into his training program, he immediately recognized the powerful synergism of the two programs. View More
Paleolithic Eating – It could take your health and fat loss to the next level
The Zone diet is based on the principle that our bodies work best on a low glycemic load, balanced diet. Lean protein, fruit, vegetables and good fats are emphasised. Other foods such as grains and treat foods are recommended to be kept to a minimum, not necessarily cut out entirely.
I would like to introduce you to Paleolithic eating principles in addition to the Zone balance. View More
