How a fat, frustrated woman developed the diet that gets weight off quickly and minimizes the discomforts of dieting. (Reading time is 9 to 14 minutes)

In June of 2009, I was a mess. That’s me in the pink top. I’m sitting there thinking, “I wish I had shown up late for the family photo so I could have hidden in the back row. Then only my face would show.”
That’s how much I disliked having my picture taken.

Just the year before, I had organized this other shot:
See how I manipulated pictures?
As it turns out, having a front row seat was a blessing in disguise.
Seeing that picture made me vow to take control of my weight. I wanted my body back, even if it meant doing something drastic.
But what could I do?
I had already tried and failed on every diet from Atkins to Weight Watchers. I had spent 40 years and a small fortune dieting. It made no sense to do a “regular” diet again. I didn’t know what to do, but I was intent on doing one more diet.
Slowly things started to happen.
First, I got hold of an old diet with some ideas that made sense. Then my husband discovered an obscure book about obesity written by a science writer and targeted at doctors. Next, I watched the book’s author deliver a mind-blowing lecture on why we get fat.
In short order, the author convinced me that most of the diet advice we have been sold and told for decades is flat out wrong. At last I was connected to some credible, brand new weight loss information. For the first time in my life I knew why I got fat, and more importantly, what to do about it.
I had science on my side instead of Slim Fast in the refrigerator.
Instantly I knew what I had to do. I started designing a new way to diet. Along the way, I developed a new mindset about eating.
I dropped 28 pounds in 37 days–and kept it off. My doctor took me off my blood pressure meds and the weight kept coming off.
I slowly started to let people take pictures of me again. I’m down 70 pounds and will drop more, but as you can see in this picture to the right, I’m shapelier now and a lot happier.
So are our Plan Z by Zola clients!

| Jeffrey asked “Will it work?” He answered his own question with a 65 pound loss in two ZReduction phases. Jeffrey wants you to know, “Most dieters get it backwards. They lose weight and then try to keep it off. Plan Z teaches you how to keep it off BEFORE you lose it. What’s the point of losing if you can’t keep it off?” His doctor declared his post diet blood tests “Perfect.” |
Lisa wondered, “How much does it cost?” Well, Zola and Lisa met on August 5, 2011. Lisa hugged Zola and told her she was 65 pounds lighter and her doctor had taken her off ELEVEN DIFFERENT PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. She is very glad she made the investment in herself |
Plan Z by Zola is growing because people like Jeff and Lisa are shrinking. They tell anyone who asks them about me and Plan Z by Zola that it’s real, and that it works. Maybe that’s why you’re here.
Let me tell you in 55-words exactly how define Plan Z by Zola:
Plan Z by Zola is a structured, coached, delicious whole food diet protocol. We use a proprietary homeopathic formula that minimizes the discomforts of dieting. Our average dieter loses 28 pounds in 37 days. While you melt away, there is a strong educational component designed to help you learn how to keep the weight off.
In four words: We Fix Fat Fast.
The education is at least 60% of the value of Plan Z by Zola. You have to unlearn the bad diet advice you’ve been given for years.
Please bear with me, because whether you decide to do Plan Z or not, I want you to know what I had to learn in order to keep the weight off. Our so-called “obesity epidemic” in the USA is about thirty years old. We started to fatten in the early 1980s shortly after the U.S. Senate passed its Dietary Guidelines for America (1977). The government advised us to reduce fat consumption from 40% to 30% and replace the fat with carbohydrates.
So we did.
Then food companies jumped in and started making low fat “diet” foods. However, these low fat foods had to be filled with added salt, flavorings, sugar, and high fructose corn syrup to make them palatable.
We all drank the (Sugar Free) Kool-Aid and started eating low-fat foods.
I drank skim milk and ate cereal bars for breakfast. I skipped lunch or grabbed a can of SlimFast. Many evenings I had Lean Cuisine Mac and Cheese because it was only 290 calories. But I continued to get fat.
Today Americans spend billions on diet foods and health club memberships. And yet, between 1998 and 2008, the number of “clinically” obese Americans grew 37% according to the Center for Disease Control. The “experts” tell us that we’re not eating enough low fat food and we need to exercise even more.
They blame fat people and label us gluttonous and slothful.
I blame their advice for the mess we’re in.
I took their advice for decades. I believed I just needed to eat a little less and exercise a bit more. What a monumental mistake. Constantly being on one semi-starvation diet or another was destroying my metabolism. Conventional dieting made me hold on to my stored fat.
Exercise isn’t the answer for weight loss either. Exercise makes us hungry, so we eat more. I worked with a personal trainer for seven years and got stronger, but not lighter. If you decided to do Plan Z by Zola, you can lose an average of 28 pounds in 37 days and not break a sweat. No exercise required. Take a walk if you want to.
Today I know fat doesn’t make you fat. Carbohydrates do. Especially the highly processed white carbs and the high fructose corn syrup that’s in most processed foods. These are the convenience foods that fill the shelves of our grocery stores. Inconveniently,though these convenience foods make us fat.
Don’t worry, this isn’t the Atkins Diet. Remember, I tried everything from Atkins to Weight Watchers. Plan Z is a completely different approach because it works on your body and your brain. That’s important because…
Whatever makes you fat makes you sick.
Humiliation is one reason to lose a lot of weight. And I was humiliated when I saw that vacation picture. But I also had health concerns. Obesity causes or exacerbates all of these diseases:
- Hypertension—I was on blood pressure meds until I developed and did Plan Z. After losing 28 pounds the first month I was able to come off the meds completely.
- Type 2 Diabetes—One Plan Z Insider called me to say he was off his insulin in four days of his ZReduction phase of Plan Z by Zola. He’d been on insulin since 1999! And he came off with his doctor’s blessing.
- Coronary heart disease
- Heart ailments
- Angina
- Stroke
- Gallstones
- Gout
- Sleep Apnea
- Osteoarthritis
We don’t make medical claims, but many of our dieters report they are making fewer claims against their health insurance.
Many people find out about us from our radio partners like Harry O. Harry O is thinner and healthier since he dropped 135 pounds Plan Z by Zola. He’s lost 20 inches from his waist and his doctor has taken him of all five of his prescriptions. His C-Pap machine is in the closet. He no longer needs it. He lives in Mason City, IA where his listeners have lost more than 20,000 pounds on Plan Z by Zola.
Keep reading or listen to him talk about the test that amazed his doctor.

I thought I knew everything about dieting. Like I said, I had spent 40 years and a small fortune going on one diet after the other. Trouble was I knew nothing about the real reason I got fat in the first place. And I didn’t have correct information about keeping the weight off once I stopped the diet and went back to eating “normally.”
I now can eat “normally” and not gain a pound. But it’s a new normal. I didn’t go back to the eating the foods that made me fat. And neither will you once you’ve been through the program. You won’t suffer or feel depressed either.
I sometimes refer to myself as the “Queen of Diets That Didn’t Work.” Until now.
I’ve done all of these diets:

I’ve been to nutritionists, psychologists and even a medical hypnotist.
I’ve bought pills from the back of magazines. I’ve done “secret” diets that I hid from my husband because I was consistently trying the “new thing” and failing.
Can you relate?
You and I didn’t fail on those diets. Those diets failed us.
Here’s the dark side of conventional dieting that the Diet Industry doesn’t want you to know: Conventional dieting keeps most of us on a perpetual cycle of losing and gaining the same 13-20 pounds for the rest of our lives. It’s a great business model. Diet companies win, when you don’t lose enough to stop dieting. My plan helps you lose weight and keep it off. So I lose you as a customer. However, you will be a fan for life. My business plan is simple: Plan Z by Zola will grow by helping you shrink. Your overweight friends and family will ask how you did it and you’ll refer them to Plan Z.
That’s my plan and already there are Plan Z dieters in 39 states and 9 countries.
Face it, you can’t live on diet shakes or shrink wrapped foods forever. Once you go back to eating “normally,” you get fat all over again. Then, you need another diet. But eating “normally” is what made you fat in the first place.
The picture of me on the left was taken on the 4th of July, 2009. Here I am today (on the right) at Plan Z by Zola headquarters. Like I said, I’m more than 70 pounds lighter. I’m still “a work in progress.” In fact, I almost waited until I got back to a size six again to go public with Plan Z, but that would be unfair to you.
Our clients say they like the fact I’m “one of them.”
You will immediately see the difference. Plan Z by Zola adds the structure missing from every diet you may have tried.
Let’s take it step-by-step. I want you to understand what your life will be like once you decide to do Plan Z by Zola
The instant you register online, we send you our FAST START GUIDE so you can start getting ready for your thinner future at once. You’ll also get an e-mail with a link to the member’s only Plan Z Works website and your user name and password. This is the site that has 300+ recipes, dieter forums and video resources.
Next, we ship your 150-page Plan Z by Zola Manual. Your manual contains the following:
- Easy to follow step-by-step instructions
- Food lists for every phase of the diet
- A laminated shopping list to take to the store
- Sample recipes
That shipment also contains your first 6 bottles of the ZR50 Reduction Formula.
I worked with a renowned homeopathic expert to develop a spray that minimizes the discomforts of dieting. The ZR50 Reduction spray is…
- Hormone-free
- Stimulant free (No caffeine–I’m allergic to caffeine, and no Ephedra.)
- Drug-free
- All natural
- Pleasant tasting
Now you have everything you need to do Plan Z by Zola and succeed.
What will your life be like for the first 90 days on Plan Z by Zola?
On days 1 and 2 you complete the first phase of the diet which we call ZBinge.
You start taking the ZR50 Reduction Formula the morning of Day 1. You take four squirts under your tongue up to six times a day. You keep doing that that for 50 days or until you’ve lost all the weight you want, whichever comes first. During ZBinge, you eat as much as you care to eat of anything you want.
Here’s why. We want you to gain a few pounds of new fat. When you start reducing you will use that fat for fuel and won’t be hungry. It takes three days for the ZR50 Reduction Formula to fully take effect. ZBinge is not a gimmick; it’s an important part of the Plan Z by Zola structure.
Don’t skip it.
On Days 3 through 50 you will be on ZReduction, the second phase of the diet.
Now your weight loss starts. You be eating two delicious meals of about 400 calories each. Sounds like a fairly small amount I know. But you have fat cells that are loaded with calories that you ate years ago. The eating plan and the spray coax your fat cells to give up the stored fat and it goes into your system and nourishes your body. So 800 calories come from the food you’re eating and another 2500 to 4000 calories a day come from food you ate in the past but never burned–your locked away fat.
You get plenty of calories. And you’re not hungry.
That’s how people lose weight fast. These calories come from the fat you put on over the years. Now that your body is burning your fat for the rest of its nourishment, you lose stored fat first and not water weight or muscle mass.
You will be hungry when meal time comes. You will feel full and satisfied once you’ve eaten your meal.
Who says you have to make yourself miserable to lose weight?
The ZR50 Reduction Formula minimizes the discomforts of dieting.
If you have been on any other conventional diet, you know what I mean by the discomforts of dieting:
|
|
That makes it easy to stick with Plan Z by Zola. Many of our dieters notice added benefits of the ZR50 Reduction Spray. They have fewer wrinkles and an enhanced mood.
Here’s the best part: The 800 calories you do eat comes in the form of delicious, satisfying whole food. You can split the food up too so you can have two full meals or two meals and four snacks. You’re in control. We explain all of the details in the manual.

You can choose fancy food or comfort food, and even dessert. You can have it all. Enjoy any cuisine you’re in the mood for today. Choose from these international categories and more:
|
|
There are delicious, hearty crock pot dishes for people who want to keep things even simpler. You can eat everything from meatloaf to citrus grilled lobster, from chili to beef tenderloin! You don’t have to be a great cook or even a cook at all.
We take you by the hand and show you everything. You gain control of your diet. You quit relying on packaged and processed foods. Convenience foods inconveniently make us fat. Taking the time to prepare real food for yourself—and most recipes take 20 minutes or less—and then taking another 20 minutes (or maybe even a little more) to slow down, eat and enjoy the food is part of taking back your life.
But life still gets in the way so…
You can do this diet easily at work
You’ve got to go to work so we have Zola to Go! recipes on our Plan Z Works website. These ideas are perfect for packing a lunch or food that travels well. We’ve helped pilots, flight attendants, truck drivers and even traveling salespeople lose weight on the go. We’ve helped firefighters lose hundreds of pounds together at the fire station.
We’ll show you how to stay true to the diet while eating in restaurants too.
We’ll show you how to navigate the menu at any family restaurant or fine dining establishment.
Family friendly? Totally.
Your family eats the same food you do. There is no need to prepare a separate diet meal for yourself. Feed them what you’re having and adjust the portion sizes. That’s it.
You choose what you want to eat every day. We never dictate that. That way Plan Z by Zola becomes part of your thinner lifestyle. As an added bonus you set an example if you have children and pass on valuable habits to them. We even have recipes for things like healthy chicken nuggets or mini-meatloaves.
I made this last week. It was delicious! My daughters, ages 4 and 2, helped me smear the tomato paste on top and had a blast! They were raving about it as they ate it that night – it was fun for me as well as for them to help Mommy cook!
Days 51 through 93 is ZReboot
You stop taking the ZR50 Reduction Formula. You start maintaining your weight loss to prove to yourself that you never have to gain the weight back. In this phase you start eating more food, but not more of the foods that make you fat.
You eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. You reintroduce olive oil, peanut butter, bacon, and even things like sausage and cheese to your diet.
By this point we will have worked on your body to make it thinner. The education has worked on your brain to make you think twice about eating foods that automatically fatten you again. You know how not to gain the weight back.
You will understand that fat didn’t make you fat. It wasn’t the cheese and pepperoni on the pizza that made you fat. It was the crust. It’s not the omelet that made you fat, it was the toast, jelly and hash browns. It wasn’t the burger, it was the bun and the catsup loaded with high fructose corn syrup.
And you’ll know exactly why that is.
During the ZReboot phase you reset your metabolism. On the first day of this phase you can eat up to 2000 calories. Every few days, you add one or two hundred more calories until you gain a pound or two. Then you back down.
Today, I can eat somewhere between 2300 and 2600 calories per day with no weight gain. I used to put on fat if I ate more than 800 calories. So I’m eating three times more than I’ve ever eaten as an adult and easily maintaining my weight loss. It’s the same for other Plan Z dieters. We have big guys, who have lost 80-, 100-, 135-pounds and more tell us they can eat even 3800 calories per day with no weight gain.
After 90 days, move on to Phase 4, ZLife. ZLife is like ZReboot with periodic cheating. You weigh yourself every day and we teach you how to shed the occasional slight weight gain.
However, if you still have more weight you want to lose, you can go back and do ZBinge, ZReduction and ZReboot for another 90 days. And you do it at a greatly reduced price.
To lose one hundred pounds takes 3 or 4 ZReduction Phases. We don’t charge for the program after the fourth round. Our dieters only pay for the ZR50 Reduction Spray.
Even if you believe Plan Z by Zola worked for me and Harry O and thousands of others, you may have failed on so many diets, you just can’t believe it will work for you. It will and I will tell you why.
Day 94 through the rest of your life is Phase 4. We call it ZLife and yes it last forever.
When you have lost all the weight you want you graduate to ZLife. You will have new and lifelong habits that will keep you thin. You will eat whatever you want, but you won’t want the foods that make you fat. For example, you will eat a piece of cheese instead of a bowl of Cheez-Its.
You will love the way you look and feel. You will love yourself and have more love to give your family. As one guy said, “Even the sex is better now that I’ve lost 55 pounds.”

What are the roadblocks that might keep you from doing Plan Z by Zola? And what strategies will help you get through those roadblocks so you can enjoy your thinner future?
Roadblock #1—Your own healthy skepticism.
You should be skeptical. My husband walked out of the room when I told him I was thinking about going on another diet. He was sick of watching me fail on one diet after the other. Now he is on board as VP of Anger Management.Even if you believe Plan Z by Zola worked for me and Harry O and thousands of others, you may have failed on so many diets, you just can’t believe it will work for you. It will and I will tell you why:
Strategy #1 is that we connect you to new information and you learn why you got fat and what to do about it.
You are a unique individual, but you are not so unique that the laws of science don’t apply to you. You are not an impossible case. Neither was I. You just had the wrong information until now.
Roadblock #2—Misinformation
We believe if you had the right information you would be thin right now. But there is too much misinformation in the diet market place. The truth is hard to find. Here is something you need to know: the diet industry is the food industry.
- Kraft makes South Beach Living packaged food
- Heinz processes Weight Watchers food
- Unilever owns Slim Fast
- Kellogg’s owns Kashi Go Lean
- Stouffer owns Lean Cuisine
- Con-Agra owns Healthy Choice
These so-called “diet” foods are filled with starch, sugar, artificial flavoring and high fructose corn syrup. These multi-national corporations are the world’s largest purveyors of sugar. They have contributed to America’s obesity epidemic and along with great American companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald’s (and many others) they are exporting our obesity epidemic to the rest of the world.
Sure, the latest scientific research on obesity trumps the conventional wisdom, but these big food corporations can talk louder than the scientists. And the pharmaceutical companies and bariatric surgeons lobby Congress to make dangerous weight loss drugs and surgeries get covered by insurance.
This is sad, but true.
Their business plan and packaged foods keep you dieting and buying their foods for the rest of your life. My business plan is to get you off a diet and onto your new life.
Strategy #2 is to “get your mind right.” Plan Z by Zola works on your body and your brain to make this the last diet you could ever need.
Plan Z is the only diet to that has a VP of Anger Management. He sees RED when the media spews bad advice about diet and obesity. His job is to seek out and connect you to new information. Whether you need Plan Z by Zola because you’re humiliated or worried about your health, a healthy dose of anger will keep you from going back to your old eating habits. Every day you will get an e-mail from us offering you encouragement and new information. You also get access to me and the ZTeam. We answer e-mails and phone calls all day. We’re here to troubleshoot problems and celebrate your successes.
Roadblock #3—Thinking you can do this yourself through discipline and will power.
Obesity is a disease of fat production, not of overeating. If it were a simple math problem of calories in and calories out, we would all be thin. On conventional diets the first ten or twelve pounds come off and then you hit the wall. Your metabolism slows down. You’re hungry and irritable. You tough it out a few more weeks or you quit and the weight comes roaring back.
On Plan Z by Zola, you burn your own stored fat first. While you’re melting away, you learn how never to get fat again.
Strategy #3 is to admit you are frustrated and tired of failing on diets and let our team help you get results fast.
The four biggest New Year’s resolutions are quit smoking, quit drinking, fix my finances and lose weight. How many years have you told yourself yourself “This is the year I’m going to lose weight.” You don’t need a resolution to lose weight in 2012. You need a plan. Plan Z by Zola is that plan. As our VP of Anger Management likes to say, “Get your big behind behind you and get on with your life.
Roadblock #4—The Money
Plan Z by Zola costs a fraction of what it already costs you to be fat. Health economists for the Center for Disease Control say that obesity costs $1470 per person per in increased medical bills and medication costs. Losing weight can actually save you money and aggravation.
We’ve already done a side by side comparison of some of the most popular diets. The information in our comparison chart below comes right from their ads and websites. But there is no comparison when it comes to the speed at which the weight comes off on Plan Z. And no other diet gives you the structure that makes this a plan for life and not just another diet.

Strategy #4 is to try to imagine how much you have already spent on dieting in your life.
I spent nearly $100,000 in the last 25 years on doctors, blood pressure medicine, back surgery, diet foods, personal trainers, health club memberships, and more. I’m not saying that to brag. I’m saying that to tell you I wasted a lot of money before I figured it out. You could spend more than that going from one diet to another the rest of your life too.
You get everything in the chart below for that one low price. It even includes the shipping and handling.

So here’s the bottom line: For $832 $717 you’ll have a smaller bottom in 50 days like Plan Z dieter, Camille:
She lost 8 dress sizes during her first reduction:

Zola
