Summary |
We all know that in order to lose weight we must eat more healthfully, but unfortunately, changing one’s diet can be harder than it sounds. Although studies report that meals prepared at home tend to be far lower in fat and calories than those found on a typical restaurant or take-out menu, often times hectic schedules simply do not allow for a home-cooked meal. For this reason, a number of companies have begun offering daily home delivery service of healthy, balanced meals.
Consumers are likely already familiar with the Zone Diet, which boasts an impressive roster of celebrity devotes. Now dieters can take all of the guesswork out of the plan by simply having pre-prepared meals delivered directly to their doors. We will take a closer look at this plan in order to determine who is most likely to benefit from it, and whether it can deliver results as well as food.

| Concept |
|
For those who are unfamiliar with the Zone Diet, it is a plan that in order to lose weight, dieters must eat a 40/30/30 ratio of carbohydrates to proteins to fats, respectively. Unfortunately, one of the biggest drawbacks to the diet is that many found it challenging to keep track of their rations throughout the day. The Zone Diet at Home eliminates this problem by simply providing dieters with a day’s worth of complete meals and snacks that adhere to the plan.
There are three different programs from which to choose, each designed to cater to a different lifestyle: “Frozone”, which ships up to a month’s worth of frozen meals that may be thawed in a microwave; Optimum Results, its gourmet line that specializes in premium ingredients; and Zone Lifestyle, its customizable line of non-frozen entrees.

This plan is likely to appeal to dieters who often find their diets sidetracked by their hectic schedules. It may also appeal to those who are interested in trying the Zone Diet, but find the calculations and rigid ratios confusing. Considering just how challenging it can be to stick with a healthy eating plan, having a freezer full of Zone-appropriate meals may make it easier to maintain one’s willpower.
As appealing as it sounds to have an entire week’s worth of healthy meals ready and waiting, some may still find it more than a bit inconvenient to carry their lunch and dinner around with them throughout the day. Unfortunately, simply having the meals available does not mean that dieters won’t still be subject to cravings. In order to maintain control, dieters may want to consider a dietary supplement containing the herb hoodia gordonii, which has been shown to control the appetite.

| Final Thoughts |
|
The Zone Diet at Home may be a convenient way to keep track of your diet, but at a minimum of almost $24.99 per day, it is certainly not the most economical. Even those who can afford this significant cost may still find themselves tempted by their old cravings. As a far more affordable and extremely effective alternative, consumers may want to consider a supplement containing hoodia gordonii, as well as the patented ingredient Advantra-Z to burn fat and boost the metabolism. Manufacturers of high quality supplements are generally happy to offer a free trial sample, so there is no risk and no extra expense.
