Easy Recipes

Zippy Roasted Peppers

The time it takes to roast the peppers will bring out the heat in the cracked pepper so be prepared for a spicy hot dish. Just a very few cracked pepper bits will do.

“Creamy” Coleslaw

Great for your summer barbecue.

Chili Con Carne

This is a meaty chili with some veggies tossed in for crunch factor. Makes a satisfying lunch.

Southern Pork Loin Roast with Amazing Onion Gravy

This super easy comfort meal is a cinch to make. Even novice cooks can handle this one! And it’s so yummy.

Pork Tenderloin with Warm Apples

This is comfort food at its finest. The pork tenderloin with the cumin on it lends a bit of an exotic flavor; like Indian food.

French Baked Pork Loin Chops

To make life simple you can put your green beans or asparagus in another oven proof pan and they can roast right alongside each other.

Fish with a Tasty Mustard Glaze

You can do this with just about any approved fish. In the picture you’ll see I did it with salmon.

Salmon with a Sweet Mustard sauce

This dish sounds a bit exotic but the mint and the mustard make for a delightful sauce. You can use this sauce on any other type of fish you like too. Super Easy!

Shrimp with a Creamy Mustard Sauce

This dish comes together in what feels like an instant. The sauce is quick and easy and because you are using cooked shrimp it doesn’t take long to cook.

Baked Salmon with a Louisiana Cream Sauce

This recipe is very similar to one that was in Bon Appetit in 1994.

Citrus-marinated Salmon

I served this with pea pods and cherry tomatoes that I cooked in a small pan with chicken broth. Very plain, but tasty.

Super Easy Salmon

Serve with your veggie portion and an optional salad.

Perfect for ZReduction. This iced tea makes you feel special.

In a hurry for a ‘fancy’ dessert? Well, it’s really not fancy but it tastes different and tastes gourmet so most folks would call it fancy. And it’s super simple. Enjoy!

Apple Ginger Compote

This is a super-simple dessert or entrée accompaniment.

Red Wine Salad Dressing

Mix together – will keep in refrigerator for several weeks!

Lemon Pepper Cream Gravy

The lemon pepper cream tastes particularly delightful with chicken or turkey. It makes it very special.

Mediterranean Chicken

This recipe uses one of my favorite seasonings, but I hesitated to list this ingredient because of its name. It’s really spelled like the swear word. Special Sh*t. I know some would be very entertained by this and others would be appalled by the vulgarity. I use mine OFTEN. It’s great on meat, fish, veggies and more. I even use it to season nuts as a cocktail snack. I hope you enjoy it, too.

Mumbai Chicken Curry

Some love the more exotic taste of Indian food.

This recipe was submitted by Zola Diet participant, Amy Z. Amy says, "This was great. The kids gobbled them up!"

This is a dish you can mix up before work and it’s all ready to cook when you get home. Just takes a few minutes to get the marinade ready.

Asian Sirloin Steak Stir Fry

The leftovers for this meal will travel well so make extra and you can take some to work for lunch! This is not an overly spicy dish. If you want it HOT you can add some cayenne.

Great Steak

Many grocery stores now have 6-8 oz filet mignon steaks available. They are about 3/4 “ thick and a perfect size for Plan Z.

There are two stages to making burgers this way. The Rub. The Burger. If you are not a major cook don’t worry. This looks harder than it is. Stick with this and you’ll love your burgers!

Taco Salad

Taco salad is super easy to make. Super Easy!

Marinated Beef Tenderloin Steaks with Sea Salt Roasted Asparagus

This is a long description for an incredibly EASY meal to cook. So many people ask me the secret to a good steak, so I thought I’d throw in all the extra commentary.

Cheddar and Tomato Crustless Quiche

You can certainly change this up by changing the cheese or using other veggies.

Crustless Strawberry Cheesecake

Whenever I go out to dinner I try to find things on the menu that I don’t cook at home or have a home. If I like them, I order them. This time I felt like spoiling myself just a tad, so I ordered the dessert. With a couple of very small changes I wanted to share this with you so you could enjoy it, too.

Vanilla Cream and Berries

This is a really LOVELY dessert. Serve this to company with no reservations, they will feel spoiled and it makes a fun family dessert, too.

This is what our clients are saying...


Zola's Story

Zola's Story

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. 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. I started dieting at 12 years old and have been working at it (in one form or another) ever since. I went to ridiculous measures to lose weight or stay thin. At age 15, I was so fed up with being fatter than other girls that I decided to eat every third day. At 16, I worked a job that required me to ride my bicycle across town all summer long. I worked two shifts so I had to do it twice every day. In between shifts I came home and had one single, solitary, fried egg and a glass of milk. One school year all I ate was a hot dog with no ketchup and a diet soda every day. Any of this sound familiar to you?

One year, at my job, my assistant went every day to a take-out joint and bought me a Chef Salad and a large diet Coke. That was my calorie consumption per day. On weekends I ate a half of a peanut butter sandwich per day and 3 diet orange sodas. Then, as I became more successful I started paying for diets.

I did Dietene, the “shakes only” plus 10 raspberries or half a banana a day diet that was prescribed by diet doctors. It’s the same diet that Oprah Winfrey did. She lost 40 pounds and on her show dragged her fat around in a wagon to show her point. I lost 52 pounds. Although I don’t know Oprah, she and I have yo-yoed in an almost identical concert ever since. She loses weight. I lose weight. She gains it back. So do I. The reasons I gain it back vary. The lack of long-term success stays the same.

I tried and failed on Atkins to Weight Watchers to Slim Fast, Acai Berry etc. You name it, I’ve done it. I spent 40 years and a small fortune dieting.

I even went to the Obesity Clinic at the University of Wisconsin. They studied me and declared my metabolism a disaster. Nothing left. They put me on experimental meds. Then the head of the department left and the program disbanded. I was left hanging. I went to an eating-disorder psychiatrist for 3 months. They even hypnotized me and found nothing wrong. I went to a dietician who reluctantly put me on a 750 calorie a day diet. After one month and a one-pound loss he resigned. I hired a trainer and worked with her 3 days a week for 7 years. No weight loss, but I sure got strong. I took Phen-Fen for 18 months before it had that nickname and before they found out it could kill you. They came and found me two years later to get my heart tested. I was fine, but it was not a success for me. I had only lost 8 pounds in all that time.

Then there are the diets I didn’t do: Jenny Craig, Nutra-Systems, and Seattle Sutton. Anything that required me to buy pre-packaged food, frozen, shrink-wrapped and shipped to me in boxes was out of the question. I figured with those, that as soon as the boxes quit coming, and I had to go back to regular food, the weight would come back.

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. 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. I watched the book’s author deliver a mind-blowing lecture on why we get fat. The author convinced me that most of the diet advice we have been sold and told for decades is 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. This is when I started designing a new way to diet and developed a new mindset about eating. I dropped 28 pounds in a little over five weeks and I kept it off. My doctor took me off my blood pressure meds and the weight kept coming off.

I know what you’re going through. I’ve lived through more than my fair share of dieting horror stories - but you don’t have to make the same mistakes I did.

Today Plan Z has dieters in over 42 states and ten countries. The reason our program is so successful is that I’ve taken the education that I’ve learned along with all of my diet failures and have developed a program that truly works.

Now I’d love to share it with you.

The Four Phases

FOUR PHASES

Our 3-1/2 month program is divided into four phases:

Phase 1: ZBinge

Junk food…kiss it goodbye.

This two day phase is your time to say goodbye to all the foods you’re going to miss while on ZReduction. You’ll also start taking your ZR50 Crave Control spray. It takes a couple of days for the formula to kick in, so by starting the diet with a binge you won’t be hungry when you start reducing. Don’t worry, the weight comes off fast.

Phase 2: ZReduction

Follow the rules and the weight drops off.

ZReduction lasts for 48 days. You will eat lean meats, fresh fruit and non-starchy veggies. You will avoid heavy fats, complex carbs and sugars. The ZR50 Crave Control spray manages your cravings for sweet and fatty foods. Hunger like you experienced on other diets is a thing of the past.

Once you stop eating processed foods and start eating real food, your insulin levels begin to normalize. Your fat cells can release fatty acids into your bloodstream. This stored fat contains calories you ate years ago but your body never used.

Once stored fat is able to be released, your body will happily burn it; without exercise. Plan Z shows you how.

Phase 3: ZReboot

Eat like royalty without gaining the weight back.

Over the next six weeks on ZReboot, your food choices expand. Your calorie intake increases. You’ll eat, drink and merrily maintain your weight, and you’ll have the secrets to getting yourself back in check if you start to weave off track.

We teach you what to eat going forward – and why. You’ll discover the pitfalls of the processed food industry and what to watch out for. You’ll be amazed how much food your body can handle with no weight gain. ZReboot proves to you, through your own experience, that Plan Z works – and it works for the long haul. At the same time, you’ll discover your relationship with food can be fun. No more guilt trips. No more back slips.

Phase 4: ZLife

Your thinner future.

Phase four of Plan Z is called ZLife, and yes, it can last indefinitely. You can eat what you want, but you won’t crave the foods that make you fat. You will have new, lifelong habits that will keep you thin. Imagine feeling in control of your body again and knowing your life of dieting is in your past. You’ll know what foods your body is sensitive to, and you’ll know how to course correct if you start to gain.

Our goal is to help you never think about dieting again. You will love the way you look and feel; and you’ll have more love to give your family. Plan Z is an eating plan for the rest of your life.
