Don't get me wrong....the zone works, it's a pain in the ass...but it works and people need it to force them to realize what foods and calories they are eating...there is more freedom in learning how to adapt and learn what your body is telling you...but that takes experimentation...and that's fun in itself....as the only one right way is the one we find that works for us....of course within healthy guidelines and parameters.
What I don't like about the zone is the way it is sold as the only way to eat....yes it works and heck I use it as reference for periods of carb cycling and loading...but it's not the only way. That and eating exact ratios every day without every changing....well that's like the same workout routine with the same weights....works for a while...but is not the optimal way to get results longterm.
