    4.0 out of 5 stars
    Difficult, but essential reading, January 19, 1999
    By A Customer
    This review is from: The Anti-Aging Zone (Hardcover)
    If you’re just starting out on the Zone, this book ‘s definitely not the one to start out with (get Mastering the Zone.) In fact, one should also read the original Zone book as well before embarking on The Anti-Aging Zone.
    But, for those who are well-versed with Zone’s eicasanoid theory, this book is a definite must for all ages.
    Anti-Aging Zone is essentially an introduction to endicrinology that specifically elucidates the roles of insulin, cortisol, growth hormone, testoserone and other hormones, how each affects the aging process, and how each is affected by your diet. Moreover, it discusses how the new drugs (DHEA, Viagra among others) affects you on a hormonal level. Needless to say, there’s ALOT of science here, but Sears manages to organize it in such a way that the reader can absorb the gist of the whole book without necesarrily understanding everything the first time. Of course, rereading each section will help greatly, but it’s not an obstacle to making the book useful.
    Athletes, especially bodybuilders, will benefit from this book too, since the 4 above mentioned hormones are critical to building muscle. All in all, the Anti-Aging Zone, provides the solid science that alot of faithful Zoners have been waiting for years.

    The Zone Diet works for me., June 12, 2001
    By A Customer
    This review is from: The Anti-Aging Zone (Hardcover)
    For several years I have had high triglycerides (TGL). Two and half years ago, my TGL/HDL ratio was 25. My doctor said I could either follow the American Heart Association (AHA) diet, or start taking medication. I choose the AHA diet, and after following the high carbohydrate, low fat diet for a year, my TGL/HDL ratio was 42. My doctor was alarmed and strongly advised taking Gemfibrozil in addition to the AHA diet. Last November after a year of Gemfibrozil and AHA diet, I was developing muscle pain in my legs where I had never had pain, lower back pain, and was gaining weight. My TGL/HDL ration was only down to 8.8. My doctor told me I had bad genes and was destined to have heart problems, and should continue with the medication to minimize the problem. I discussed the problem with my boss at work and he told me about the “Entering the Zone” book. I read most of it and on November 20th, 2000 I stopped taking Gemfibrozil and I started the Zone Diet. At the end of January after being on the Zone diet for just over 8 weeks, my TGL/HDL ration was down to 2.2. For me, a side affect of the Zone diet has been the loss of a little over 30 lbs since starting the diet. The real benifit has been to reverse my aging metrics. The Anti-Aging Zone book isn’t easy reading, but is one of the most fascinating books I have ever read. I highly recommend you read it and try it. It has improved my health in many ways mot mentioned in this summary.

    Aging as a chemical engineering problem., February 11, 1999
    By 

    This review is from: Anti-Aging Zone, The (Audio Cassette)
    As a zoner for nearly 2 years, I can personally attest to Dr. Sears scientific evaluation of America’s high carbohydrate – low fat diets, and the current government dietary pyramid scheme. His latest book describes the hormone system and how sustained high insulin levels accelerate aging. This book explains in great detail how Dr. Sears, through the empirical results of his own studies and research of others, formulated the “Zone Diet”. This book should give those who believe in the current wisdom of high carbohydrate – low fat diets pause. The book is not an easy read, but given the complexity of his subject I don’t see how it could be more simply written. Just do like I did; read it twice.
