Are All Zone Diet Products True to the Zone Diet?
Summary
The Zone Diet, developed by Dr. Barry Sears, focuses on balancing carbohydrates and proteins in every meal. Although Dr. Sears founded the ZonePerfect Nutrition Company in 1996, he sold it to Abbott five years later. Not all products bearing the Zone name follow the true principles of the diet.Are Zone Diet Products Authentic?
The ZonePerfect Nutrition Company has grown significantly, expecting to sell over $100 million worth of products this year. These include bars, meals, protein shakes, powders, supplements, and fish oil capsules. Despite carrying the "Zone" label, Dr. Sears does not endorse all of them, as they do not align with the Zone Diet principles he established.
In contrast, Dr. Sears endorses a new product called Smart Zone, a meal supplement bar by Hershey's. Legal issues have arisen over implied endorsements of ZonePerfect products, which Dr. Sears firmly denies.
The Main Concern
Dr. Sears currently runs Zone Labs, the only company whose products he endorses. Hershey's SmartZone bars, expected to carry his approval, are set to join this list.
The concern with non-endorsed products is their failure to chemically balance to control insulin, a cornerstone of the Zone Diet. Dr. Sears emphasizes that the chemical composition of food is crucial for managing insulin and preventing hunger.
For instance, true Zone bars use patented fish oil to help manage insulin and curb cravings. However, many bars with a 40/30/30 protein, carb, and fat ratio use oils like flaxseed or soybean, which don't aid insulin control, leading to hunger and cravings.
What Products Does Dr. Sears Endorse?
Dr. Sears supports his own line of supplements, including:
- OmegaRx Fish Oil Concentrates: Enhance heart, brain, and immune functions while aiding insulin control.
- Zone Bars and Shakes: Quick meals and snacks following the 40/30/30 ratio, with added omega fish oil.
- Zone Ribose: Boosts energy and reduces muscle fatigue post-exercise.
- SeaHealth Plus: A liquid supplement packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to clear free radicals.
- Additional Supplements: Focus on cardio support, bone health, detoxification, and foundational nutrition.
The only meal Dr. Sears endorses is a line of frozen dinners developed with Cedarlane. These meals, including pizza, omelets, enchiladas, and burritos, are designed to be microwaved and enjoyed conveniently.
Conclusion
Dr. Sears continues to innovate, creating supplements and meals that adhere to the Zone Diet. To ensure you’re truly following the diet, check for Dr. Sears' endorsement on products you purchase.
