I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, I'm pretty new here and still trying to find my way around.

Anyway, I've bought 4 books so far, they are
1. Mastering the zone
2. A week in the zone
3. The zone - a roadmap
4. Zone food blocks

My question is, what order would be best that I read them? Can anyone help me?

Thanks so much,
Maggie

Hi Maggie,

Read them in this order,# 3 (if you mean the book THE ZONE), #1, #4. Read #2 any time, it's a quick explanation, like handbook. Keep in mind the carbohydrate block lists in these earlier books are somewhat outdated, so if you choose to use the block method, defer to the lists on this site.

That said, the best Zone books to read first are TOXIC FAT and THE ANTI-INFLAMMATION ZONE. They are Dr. Sears' newest books and give the most up to date info. OF those two, I’d suggest reading TOXIC FAT first. They're excellent books for new Zoners and long time Zoners. TOXIC FAT also includes a 28 day starter menu to ease you into the Zone.

Thanks for your help Sue, I just placed my order for TOXIC FAT

Hey, you're welcome! Anytime. Have fun learning all about the Zone. The book will give you a wealth of info. One of the many things you'll take away from it is why you don't have to obsess about minute detail regarding the diet, in order to have the ultimate successful Zone experience. You'll look at food in a whole new way from now on.
