A Day in the Zone: Eat healthy like the stars for just $40 a day
by Laura Cassidy
7:48 A.M.
I'm reaching for the organic rice check cereal when I remember that today is the day I must start my diet. After a moment of quiet resignation (even when you know for a fact that you're only going to be on it for one day, beginning a diet is a daunting task), I snap the cupboard shut and open the front door. A bread-box-sized, soft-sided cooler waits for me on my doorstep. Inside it is everything I will eat today.
Back in the kitchen, I empty the cooler of its contents. There are five of those high-quality, black-bottomed, clear-topped gourmet take-out containers: three medium-sized (for my three "40-30-30" squares), two small (for my two snacks). There is a menu sheet and a bullet-pointed note from Zone Seattle that reminds me to drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water, suggests meal/snack time intervals, and asks me to either please recycle or reuse the food containers. A gentle aroma begins to waft from my French press as I read the line item, Limit or eliminate coffee. Screw that. A girl's got to have her vices. |

Delivery service brings Zone meals to dieters' doorsteps
By Providence Cicero Special to The Seattle Times
Would you sign up for a diet program run by a woman who admits she's been a size 8 all of her adult life?
As president of Zone Seattle, Arlene Sherman dispatches her "food fairies" daily to roughly 150 clients of Zone Seattle, the home meal-delivery program she founded 19 months ago with her son, Jeff, based on the principles of the Zone diet developed by Dr. Barry Sears and first introduced in his 1995 book "The Zone."
A fast-talking, Brooklyn-accented food fairy godmother, Sherman set her sights on health-conscious Seattle after working for a similar company in the New York metropolitan area. |

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- As a party planner for the stars, Jodi Thomas' schedule leaves little time for eating right.
Fed up with getting by on coffee and candy bars while coordinating events for hundreds of people, Thomas signed up with the Zone Diet At Home food delivery service. For her, weight loss was an afterthought.
"I'm eating right, the food is good, and the bonus is I lose weight along the way," said the 30-year-old Santa Monica resident who lost five pounds in a month. |

The principals of the Zone Denver Diet are well-known and well-published. There are thousands of articles and papers discussing its effectiveness. Although any diet program is only as good as your adherence to it, your decision to follow a healthier life style based on your eating habits is a major step...possibly the most important step to more energy, lower weight, lower blood pressure and lower cholesterol.
