The New Nutrition : Medicine for the Millennium by Michael Colgan Paperback Published by Apple Pub Co Ltd Publication date: April 1996 Customer Comments: A nutrition and lifestyle program that could well become a model for the 21st century. I recommend it to everyone who wants good health and increase vitality. earthworks@willapabay.org, 04/10/97, rating=10: Dr. Colgan makes nutrition interesting! I've recommended this book to all my friends and family. A real eye opener! A book on nutrition that keeps you one the edge of your seat. How'd of thought? RichHealth@aol.com, 12/14/96, rating=10: You are most definitely what you eat - a must read! Dr. Colgan does a great job explaining in layman's terms the importance of nutritional supplements as a survival mechanism to combat the absence of an adequate diet. He points out the lack of critical vitamins and minerals in the food we eat due to soil depletion, pollution, and the use of chemical fertilizers. He is not bashful about indicting the National Institute of Health and American Cancer Society for duping the American public about their level of nutrition and health. The American Cancer Society's trading the word cure rate to survival rate has fooled most of us. Naturally with all the sophisticated technology at our disposal, we are detecting the presence of cancer sooner - so it follows that people are "surviving" longer. There's no talk about the cure rate at all. Dr. Colgan, while sometimes brash, is refreshingly candid about how we can all take better care of ourselves through the use of nutritional supplements added to our diets that are woefully lacking the substances required for optimal health.

Customer Comments cubby@computek.net, 06/18/97, rating=10: Ignore the naysayers. This diet is amazing. I initially tried this diet for 1 week at the request of my girlfriend, who bought the book. Rather than read it, I just did it. The results were AMAZING. Within the week, modest weight loss was achieved. This is not amazing, as most any deficient or dangerous diet can do that. HOWEVER, what was truly amazing were the immediate results in two areas. First, and most obvious, my energy level tripled. I have noticed a very low energy level and have tried several things including exercise, various diets, more sleep, etc and NONE of them worked. This diet gave me more energy than I knew what to do with within a few days of starting. Second, I awoke every morning feeling fully rested, even on nights where I got only 3 to 4 hours of sleep. I went off the diet after a few weeks and returned back to all of the negative symptoms I have described above rather quickly. Periodically, I started and stopped this diet to see how it influenced me. Every time, without fail, my energy was better, my sleep more restful, and my mood and outlook improved when I was on the diet for 2-3 days in a row. Every time I went off it, the negative symptoms returned. I originally made the deal to try the diet with my girlfriend based on her willingness to do all the cooking. "I don't have time for this" was my attitude. I'm dating someone else now. I have now purchased both books, and my attitude is "I can't afford not to be on this diet". I concur that some of the research and evidence is not well substantiated IN THE BOOK. Then again, this is written as a best-seller, not a research dissertation. For the average reader, it provides enough description to help understand why it works. And there is no doubt that it works. I know several other people who have stayed on this diet for 3-4 months now. They ALL noticed similar and immediate positive changes. They also all lost 20-30 lbs. The diet may be low calorie at times, but the food is good and there is almost more than you can eat at times. To the naysayers who I have seen criticizing this book and its underlying concepts, I say this. First of all, perhaps you should try it for a week or two and see for yourself. Second, many who are writing as "medical experts" fail to recognize an obvious truth. Medical science has not provided very good solutions for people who struggle with weight loss. The proof is in the pudding. Where's yours? Third, regardless of weight loss, the more exciting benefits of this diet are the remarkable energy increase and enhancement of sleep. I haven't seen any practical solutions from medical science on that either. Fourth, this diet is very flexible. You can eat pretty much what you want, you just have to adjust the proportions of the fat, protein, and carbohydrate content of the meal. There is software out there to pick any combination of various food and have the software balance the meal for you. People who are calling this diet dangerous are obviously not in tune with the concept of a balanced diet. Basically, thats all this is. A balanced diet which debunks the myths about how great rice cakes and pasta are for you. Bottom line- this works, the benefits are far more reaching than just weight loss, and this diet is clearly more healthy than what a lot of people are eating today, which is fast food, and hollow calories. Some of these naysayer scientists would be wise to reconsider the most important question in all science - WHAT ARE THE RESULTS? Buy it, try it, and see for yourself. twon@worldnet.att.net, 02/14/97, rating=10: I highly recomend this book to my patients and colleagues. This book is an excellent review of the newest technology in eating. Dr. Sears explains how to eat and why. His explanation of how food affects your body is an explanation of human physiology than anyone can understand. I recomend it to my friends, patients and colleagues almost daily. Jason N. Cox M.D. sahcss@worldnet.att.com, 01/26/97, rating=10: This is truly an excellent guide to better nutrition not only for weight loss but for general well being. The material is easy to follow, well explained, and makes a good deal of sense. I was on high carb diet and while not overweight had a high triglyceride level and low levels of good cholesterol. Within 1 month my levels reversed dramatically. This way of nutrition ,I feel, will obviate the need for many medications. fholder@sos.net (Fred W. Holder), 01/10/97, rating=10: This book was the best diet news I ever read. I purchased Dr. Sears book in April of 1996. I am a diabetic and was on medication that didn't agree with me very well. The Zone Diet sounded too good to be true. But it works. I don't look at it as a diet to lose weight, but a new way of life. I believe that is what Dr. Sears had in mind, not a weight loss diet, but a change in the way we eat permanently. I've been on his diet for eight months. I've lost 40 pounds and have been on maintenance since September 1996. I haven't taken diabetes medicine since the second day of the diet and my blood sugar typically runs around 97 to 106 as opposed to the 207 it used to run. Every time I see a Type II Diabetic I want to run up to them and say, "Read Dr. Sears' book and feel better." I don't know anything about the claims he makes, but I do know that I feel better, have more energy, and have my diabetes under control. That makes the book cheap. Incidentally, I purchased two of the books for my daughters. One of them is also on the diet and has lost around 40 pounds, feels better, and I feel better knowing that maybe she will not develop diabetes. Maybe this isn't a review, but it is a testimonial. DELAAA05@giasdl01.vsnl.net.in, 01/05/97, rating=10: Revolutionary. Will change the world ? I am thoroughly and overwhelmingly impressed by the book. For a recent few years I had a latent desire to find a book such as this one, which is scientific in its approach. Bingo. I find it and I am overwhelmed by it. What a book ! I am on the road to implement its suggestions. Must read for each and everyone and more than that, a must do for everyone. scotten@interpac.net, 09/18/96, rating=10: Amazing ground-breaking new book that will change the world for the better. This is not theory and intellectual exercise. This is something that you can try for 2 weeks and then be ready to be amazed! I've been on the programed nutritional system called the Zone diet for 1 1/2 months and have lost 20 lbs. and have never felt better. Get this book! Write me if you want to know more. Aloha. rjhebel@bmi.net, 08/21/96, rating=9: Sure to cause heartburn with the status quo... It's hard for horses to turn around in mid-stream. So too, I suspect, diet faddists and the medical establishment will find this book hard to swallow. Aside from the compulsive crowd, however, I suspect that most readers will sense the validity of the "foods as drugs" premise, especially in light of the dearth of proven, workable alternatives. That is not to say the book is without it's problems: Sears can't seem to curb overstatement, and is occasionally loose with statistics. On the other hand, the reader will not sense snake oil here. Something is very right, and Sears seems to have tapped a resonance here with systems as diverse as human dietary evolution, endocrinology, and lipid biochemistry. How "right" is Sears? This is probably less important than the attention he's raised in, and the breath of fresh air he's generated with, The Zone. henrik@husc7.harvard.edu, 08/06/96, rating=1: Nutritional Misinformation and Pseudo-Science This book is full of unsubstantiated claims, undocumented "research" (which involves "experiments" without control groups), and is tied together with dramatic statements, testimonials, and personal opinion. Despite the inconsistent descriptions Sears provides for recommended food intake, for many people being "In the Zone" means a diet of 800-1200 calories a day. While such a caloric deficit is guaranteed to result in weight loss, it is quite likely to include some loss of lean body mass and carry a risk of nutritional deficiencies as a result. Particularly laughable are Sears' side-by-side pie charts of a "typical" (extreme) high-carbohydrate diet and the Zone diet, asking readers to select the diet that is more nutritionally balanced based on the visual representation of the macronutrients in the pie charts. The sensible dieter is still advised to consult the Food Guide Pyramid, which can provide a plan for healthful lifelong eating, both in of maintaining proper weight and ensuring adequate nutrition. --Larry DeLuca, CSCS A reader, 06/14/96: Readers of this book might want to download a free set of 50 Zone-Favorable Meals from http://users.aol.com/nutrigenie/ . There is also a companion Windows software for Zone Diet Meal Planning there. crilly@soka.edu, 06/14/96, rating=10: Carbohydrates are just "bad carba" I have been on this new way of eating (it's not a diet) for 3 months and have lost 10 lbs and 5% body fat. I feel better, more energy and no stomach distress. It is truly incredible what "bad" carbohydrates can do to your body. Not to worry, you get used to the "good" carbs, honest! A reader, 05/16/96, rating=9: Excellent, a truly new and useful contribution to health. The best book on nutrition I've encountered in a long time. Useful for the serious athlete or the couch potato. Explains medical and biological reasons why popular diets are not effective.

Although his plan advocates eating fewer calories and exercising more, it also stresses getting more of those calories from fat and protein and fewer from carbohydrates. Here, he expands on that theory (which is still not accepted in most scientific circles) and offers recipes to help readers put his principles into practice. Synopsis: Flying in the face of conventional dietary thinking, and after years of comprehensive scientific research, Dr. Barry Sears discovered that "eating doesn't make you fat." His phenomenally successful book, The Zone, introduced the world to his findings and ground breaking health regimen. Now he's back with an exciting new book teaming with tantalizing recipes and insightful information that will deepen readers' understanding of this revolutionary health and fitness program. Synopsis: Dr. Barry Sears' discovery that "eating fat doesn't make you fat" now goes a step further. Mastering the Zone offers sharp insights and new information--making this a must-have sequel. Simultaneous hardcover release from ReganBooks. --This text refers to the audio cassettes edition of this title. Customer Comments cmarrero@techlink.net, 06/01/97, rating=10: Great way to change eating habits. Mastering the Zone is a great book. It teaches you how to change your eating habits, improve your health, increase your energy and feel better about yourself. It provides a simple guideline on how to mix foods that provide a balanced meal of protein, carbohydrates and fat by using blocks (as described by the author) instead of calories or fat grams. It includes great recipes and suggestions on how to choose the right foods when eating out. I highly recommend it. It works!! After following The Zone, I feel better than I have ever felt before. I have more energy, I have lost weight easily, I crave fruits and vegetables instead of cookies and cake and I feel wonderful!!!. dougal@1to1.co.za, 05/20/97, rating=10: Balanced Brilliance Why is it that in a world where everyone advocates balance as the panacea to stress management, scientific experts question the methods contained in this book on the most balanced eating life style I have ever read? As a triathlete, not only does it make perfect sense but it works. For years I followed the sheep, or should I say cattle (para 2, page 3) on a high carb low fat diet, but I could never lose the body fat I needed to lose to be competitive. Well I am losing body fat regularly and I feel fitter, faster and lighter than ever before. It's easy to follow and I am never hungry. This is a brilliant lifestyle book and hey, it's not just for athletes, ask your Grandmother liz@ipro.com, 02/21/97, rating=9: The key to optimal physical & mental performance & fat loss According to Dr. Barry Sears, fat does not make you fat but insulin does. Therefore, control the production of insulin by eating equal blocs of protein, carbohydrates and fat at each meal. Don't be scared to eat monounsaturated fats in small quantities because they actually slow down the rate of absorption of carbohydrates into the bloodstream which reduces the amount of insulin produced which eliminates excess body fat.. Compelling medical facts, tips and recipes included. If you want to lose excess body fat while maintaining peak physical and mental performance then Master the Zone.
