The Miraculous Claims of the Zone DietIulia Pascanu One way of recognizing a fad diet is said to be the promise of multiple miraculous effects upon health. And Zone diet promises a lot.

And what did I find instead Some stories about people who successfully solved their problems by following Zone diet, and their everlasting gratitude to diet guru Barry Sears! Im sorry, but Im not buying that. Of course, there are some good aspects of the Zone diet. It promotes healthy eating standards and gives some common-sense advice. Somewhere, on the publishing road more precisely with "Omega RX Zone --- The miracle of high-dose fish oil", Dr. Sears advises us not to make any radical change in our dietary program without consulting a trained physician. But I think there are still many things that need to be proven in the Zone. If it really does work the way it promises, mankind should go beyond such problems as illness.
