I find the Barry Sears Zone diet a complicated and very practical diet for the famous housewife from Voghera who has to serve up something edible for herself and her family every day, without spending a fortune. If you look at those who do the Zone diet, you will often see that they are single or people without large families, while instead it is more likely to find a family of vegetarians who follow the vegetarian diet. In short, as with any diet, a diet for life must not only be good, but also feasible, practical and convenient . The Zone diet has the advantage of being balanced, however, and for those unfamiliar with the “blocks” or the breakdowns of nutrients typical of this diet, an extra help can come from the productsEnerzona of Enervit . Since you know how I think about meal replacements and supplements, which Enerzona also produces, I would skip both these categories together: if you are not able to prepare a meal by yourself, the sachets are not a solution; supplements are full-fledged medicines. Bakery products, on the other hand, have won my personal “label test”, which I do when I feel like cookies (it happens to me too, yes) and nothing on the shelves convinces me despite the tempting words.

I would instead focus on food items found in various supermarkets, basically at the same prices as the most sponsored brands, but undoubtedly better nutritionally: breakfast biscuits have a source of good fiber and fat , unlike fake diet biscuits. which are wholemeal with only a very limited percentage of flour; for snacks, there are diet-type cereal chips and nuggets, not fried, without the added sugar load; finally the crackers and bars . To me the Enerzona products (especially the breakfast ones, which I have used every now and then) seem a good compromisebetween those who love to solve everything with a purchase at the supermarket and those like me who would prefer home made always and in any case: I add a small thing, and that is that I do not advertise hidden products of any kind; if I mention them or talk about them well it is not because I get paid to do it or I get free product samples, I don’t like feeling obligated! For those who want to know more about the Zone diet, this is the book , one of the books, indeed, that will clear your mind.
