Hi! I'm new to The Zone, read the book, love it, made sense and I started to eat in Zoned meals. I am confused though over the ZonePerfect website. Were they affiliated with Dr. Sears and now are not? I saw their nutrition bars at Sam's Club, bought them and now realize that their 40/30/30 claim is not quite right, first the fat in the bars is all saturated, there absolutely no fiber and the 'blocks' are not exact. Can someone shed some light into this? :?

Hi Babs, Yes ZP used to be associared with Dr. Sears and is no longer. Their Bars are no longer made to Dr Sears specifications tho many still find some of the flavours satisfactory. Dr. sears only recomends his own products which are available on this site White Light [quote:e3d9351351="Babs"]Hi!

Thank you! Appreciate the info. Will definitely check the bars here.

It would be really nice though, if Zone Labs would make an all natural Zone bar. Does anyone know if there are any plans for such? Shakes too. I tasted one shake and threw them all away.:(

Hi, I noticed the same thing and decided to look at the protein/carb/fat of Dr. Sears bar on is website and his too are a little off. They are about the same ratio off as the Zone Perfect. You can check for yourself.

Hi,

You might be misunderstanding something about Zone balance. Here's the nutrient list for Chooclate Zone Bars made by Zone Labs, copied from the info availible on this site, which shows one bar is 2 completely balanced Zone blocks:
