For the past week, I’ve been getting the Zone diet delivered through Zone Manhattan. I wanted to lose a couple of pounds, and frankly, eating is a chore during the week since I don’t cook at all anymore and order in for every meal. The prospect of not having to think about food was very enticing. Plus BIL Bee lost 30 pounds in two months on Zone last year — check out his amazing results here!
Each delivery consists of breakfast, lunch, dinner and 2 snacks that follow the 40% carbs, 40% protein, and 30% fat ratios. I always wondered what the food tasted like, so I’ve photographed 2 days worth of food below. This diet is tailored to my weight, activity level (I do weights 2x a week and cardio 2x a week), and desired weight loss goal. Mr. Bee, who’s doing this with me, gets a lot more food than I do.

Breakfast: 2 whole wheat pancakes (slightly smaller than the palm of my hand) with roasted bartlett pears, raspberries, turkey bacon and cottage cheese; Snack #1: Cubes of cheese with apples, grapes, celery and carrots

Lunch: grilled chicken breast with garden veggies; Snack #2: blueberry muffin with yogurt

Dinner: lime seared tilapia w/ red rice and roasted veggies; Another Dinner: golden grouper with grilled veggies

Snack #2: pear and berry panna cotta; Lunch: golf shrimp w/ pasta provencal

Snack #1: feta & veggie salad; Breakfast: steel cut oats with cinnamon roasted apples and turkey bacon
Thoughts on the food:
So far, I’m really happy with the Zone Diet (even though I haven’t lost any weight yet, but that’s probably because I’ve been cheating a ton
). It feels healthy, it’s convenient, and it’s not hard to stick to because the food actually tastes pretty darn good.
If you have any questions about Zone, please feel free to ask and I’ll try to help.
Have you ever tried the Zone or similar diet? How did you like it?
Oh my gosh, that looks amazingly yummy! So jealous of all your tasty food!
