After giving birth to my second son, and then turning around and getting pregnant right after that, it seems like I still haven't been able to lose all of my weight that I gained while being pregnant with my last two children. I still have a wardrobe of clothes sitting in my closet that I cannot fit, but I am hoping that one day I will be able to fit in my size 3's again! Zone Diet contacted me for a review and giveaway of their products, and I couldn't have been more excited! I have really been in need of a good diet, but there are so many different weight loss diets and programs on the market, that It was just so hard to choose which one would work best for me.
I received 2 boxes each of staggering weeks one and two, so I was really able to get a feel for all of their products. It arrived in a long cardboard box, and I didn't waist any time opening it up. I was so excited to see what was actually in it! I opened up the box and was shocked by what was in it! There were bagels, pasta, granola, pretzels, croutons, bread, and even cookies! Yes, I said it, cookies! They also included a structured meal planner to give me ideas as to how to incorporate their foods into healthy meals.
Zone Diet actually sends two shipments of food )one each week for two weeks). When the second box arrived it was full of even more flavors including Peanut butter Granola, Herb Croutons, Cinnamon Bagel Chips, and even a different assortment of cookies! To find out exactly what food you will receive click here. Not only did I receive food, but I also received supplements. The OmegaRX and Zone Polyphenols helps burn fat faster by decreasing inflammation in your fat cells. You will still be able to make the recipes that you love, only without the same hormonal outcome!
Dr. Barry Sears new line of Zone 1-2-3 foods allows you to indulge in some of your favorite foods whithout feeling guilty. Using his 'Molecular Baking' he created foods that are commonly high in unfavorable carbohydrates healthy to eat. This diet allows you to continue to eat the foods you love without resulting in silent inflammation. This diet works by replacing the carbs found in food with protein, and by controlling cellular inflammation. Zone Diet makes weight loss easy and I no longer dread diets!
I was surprised by how fresh the bread items actually were. The first day I had a bagel for breakfast and it was so soft. By the time lunch came around I was excited to try something else. For lunch I decided to have a sandwich, so I used the multigrain bread to make a tasty cold turkey sandwich. Once again, I was amazed by how soft and fresh the bread was! Lunch kept me filled up until Dinner time when I decided to have some pasta with tomato sauce...MMM! For a snack I had two Chocolate Chunk Cookies, and believe me I enjoyed every bite of them!
I think my favorite item is the Peanut Butter Chip Cookies and the fresh Cinnamon Swirl Bread. After participating in this wonderful diet it is hard to believe it is an actual diet until you start seeing the weigh loss results! I was able to loose 5 lbs while on the diet! I went from 135 lbs to 130 lbs...score! If you decide to purchase this program your will receive :
