      Carbohydrates

      Carbohydrates

      Are Certain People More Susceptible to Obesity?

      Please watch the latest Gary Taubes video from April 2022 and I think you’ll understand why we recommend internalizing his ideas and applying them to your life. It's a deep dive, but a great conversation for those who want to go further in their learning.

      Resistant Carbs

      The idea behind resistant carbs is they are not digested the same way as regular carbohydrates. Resistant carbs are digested further down in your digestive tract so they don’t spike your insulin levels like regular carbs do. That’s good news for anyone who’s Type 2 Diabetic or anyone who’s trying to live a low carb lifestyle; like Plan Z dieters do.

      What’s the Big Deal with Gluten

      But what exactly is gluten, and why can’t some people process it? And why does it only seem to be a problem recently?

      The Grain Brain Lifestyle

      Eating your way to better health begins in the kitchen, and that starts by filling your cabinets with the right food.

      80 Grams – A Day in the Low Carb Life

      There is no number set in stone that tells you how many grams of carbs you can eat per day before you begin to gain weight. It all depends on your body; your height, weight, activity level and metabolic rate. Everyone wants a number, but you can’t have one. For each of us that number is unique.

      Wheat Belly: Whole Grain, Organic, Ciabatta or Twinkie…It’s All the Same

      White bread, whole grain, multigrain, organic or bagel, pretzel, bruschetta, ciabatta . . . it's all the same.

      Total Carbs Vs. Net Carbs

      You're reading labels. The box shows the amount of carbs, but then it has this other mysterious number called NET carbs. So what’s the difference?

      King Corn

      King Corn is a documentary that didn’t get wide circulation. CBS Sunday Morning covered the premier of the film. Our government subsidizes corn farmers. That makes corn an incredibly cheap ingredient. That’s why it’s in so many processed foods.

      Dr William Davis on the Dangers of Wheat

      The USDA tells us we should have 6 to 11 servings of grain per day. They are trying to sell commodities. Don’t listen. To help get (and keep) your mind right, watch this Dr. William Davis, author of Wheat Belly.

      Dr Justin Explaining Resistant Starches

      One thing you might want to look into at this point, is the idea of “resistant starches.” These are starches that are digested in your intestines and don’t spike your insulin levels.

      How To Really Order Breakfast

      Having two pieces toast racks up 29.4 grams of carbohydrates. Wash that breakfast down with an 8-ounce glass of orange juice and you've just added 27.1 more grams of carbohydrates.

      Carbohydrates and Cancer

      Gary Taubes in a response to questions related to refined carbohydrate consumption and their effects on degenerative diseases such as cancer, Alzheimers and heart disease.

      How Wheat Makes You Fat

      People have a hard time giving up bread. Here are 10 minutes of reasons to give up bread. After you watch this, it might not be so difficult to give it up.

      Starch is Your Enemy!

      Starch is bad because it continually signals you to take another bite. Fat and protein signal your body to stop eating after a certain point, but carbohydrates, whether good or bad, don’t.

      All About Carbohydrates

      Part one of a complete overview of carbohydrates and your heath.

      No Truth In Labeling

      It's amazing how easy it is to make the wrong food choices based on the way our foods are marketed.

      The Ultimate Pyramid Scheme

      Your fat butt is the only proof you need that all of that low fat food you are eating is making you fat. The USDA’s motto might as well be, “In Carbs We Trust.”

      Plan Z Success Stories

      Plan Z Success Story
      Ken Lost 57 Pounds

      About 6 or 7 years ago, I grew a beard in order to cover up my chubby face. . . At that time I weighted 244 and I made a deal with myself that I was going to shave my beard when I got to 200 [pounds]. Well, year after year after year, not only was I NOT losing to 200 I was gaining weight. A few weeks ago [after doing Plan Z] I hit 200 and I shaved the beard that morning.

      Trust me, if you do it, immediately, you're going to be happy that you did. Not in a week, not in a month, not in 6 months but in a few days - because you're going to lose a couple of pounds and after that you'll be excited. This is by far been the best thing I have ever done for myself, ever.

      Sides & Veggies

      Yogurt with Fruit and Nuts

      Okay. This seems so simple. Everyone wants a fast breakfast or snack. Your kids will be giddy with this as their breakfast or their after school snack.

      Oven-Roasted, Crispy Shallots

      My husband goes ga-ga for these things. He loves them so much he’s even started volunteering to make them!

      Creamy Leek Pie

      This recipe makes a yummy vegetarian lunch or side dish to go with a protein. I also put it in Zola to GO! because it can travel to a buffet.

      Marvelous Mushrooms

      This mushroom dish was designed to go with steak but I am confident it will go well with chicken or even an omelet. The taste is rich so be ready for some big YUMs around your table.

      Butternut Squash Roasted in Coconut Oil

      This recipe is SUPER simple and SUPER BIG YUM! I don’t crave potatoes anymore but I can develop a craving for this stuff!

      Roasted Butternut Squash, Egg and Cheese Casserole

      This recipe is for all the vegetarians out there. Thank you dieter Nancy for this photo. For you non-vegetarians this makes a great side dish to go along with a grilled meat. We had this last night with grilled Andouille sausage and had a lovely meal.

      Eggplant Lasagna

      Dieter Debbie created this fabulous recipe. Thanks Debbie!

      Hearty Italian Tomato-Mushroom Soup

      This is a very thick soup. If you like your soup thinner you can add tomato juice to thin it out. I'd say a couple of cups of juice would be plenty.

      Coffee and Cinnamon Roasted Nuts

      Debbie says, "I made some roasted nuts last night for an election party, they were so good I had to share them. These were amazing and so yummy."

      Roasted Plum Tomatoes

      Quick, simple and a great side to any dish.

      Creamy Cauliflower

      This recipe was submitted by Plan Z dieter Debbie. Debbie says, "Here is an idea for Thanksgiving. Many of us have had this before, but wanted to share it again."

      Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Cheese

      During the last five minutes of roasting time for the Brussels sprouts pull the pan out and sprinkle on the bacon bits and the cheese. Put back in the oven for the last five minutes and the cheese will melt, the bacon will get warm and the sprouts will be ready to serve.

      Balsamic-Roasted Exotic Mushrooms with a White Truffle Olive Oil Glaze

      "Little plates" restaurants have become all the rage. At two different Chicago restaurants I ordered a mushroom dish that I loved so much I had to figure out how to make it.

      Tomato-Zucchini Medley

      If you are serving this dish with the salmon, place the salmon on the plate and then spread the tomatoes and zucchini around it for color.

      Acorn Squash with Pecans

      When I’m designing diet recipes I try to come up with ways to give you the experience of non-diet food so you don’t feel like you are missing your favorites. On the ZReboot portion of Plan Z you can enjoy this squash and hopefully you won’t even miss the brown sugar in the traditional version.

      Mushrooms with a Creamy Cheese Sauce

      This goes well with grilled picnic meats.

      Asparagus Flan

      This look great and perfect to serve over the holidays to impress your guests.

      Stuffed Mushrooms

      These are perfect for a comforting snack or if you need to make an appetizer for a party. YUM!

      Crispy Shallots

      Creamy Cucumbers

      These are perfect for a comforting snack or if you need to make an appetizer for a party. YUM!


      Entrees

      Asian Chicken with Veggie Slaw (ZReduction Version)

      This looks like a lot of ingredients, but you’ll see it’s sort of a dump and cook recipe. Not difficult at all. If you love making Asian food you probably have many of these ingredients in the house. 

      Asian Chicken with Veggie Slaw (ZReboot Version)

      This looks like a lot of ingredients, but you’ll see it’s sort of a dump and cook recipe. Not difficult at all. If you love making Asian food you probably have many of these ingredients in the house. 

      Seared and Roasted Burgers

      My favorite technique for cooking low-fat burgers is to quickly sear the burger and finish it by roasting it in the oven. Here’s the recipe for seared burgers that are then oven-roasted.

      Chicken with Creamy Sundried Tomato Sauce

      This is one dish I never thought I could pull off for ZReduction. But here it is! And it's delicious.

      Easy Enchiladas

      This dish comes together in a flash. If you are doing beef enchiladas, I recommend red sauce. If you are doing chicken, I recommend you go wild and use a green sauce.

      Beef Enchiladas

      This version of our enchilada offerings does include a tortilla. It’s not a large one and we over-stuff it so we keep the carbs down. It should fill you up. If you do a few taco chips and salsa and guacamole, one enchilada should be enough for your meal.

      Mexican Dinner Salad

      On a hot day, this salad is a winner. It comes together quickly. You don’t even have to turn on the oven (if you have a grill).

      Italian Sausage and Zucchini Bake

      This is sort of one of those dump casseroles that come together quickly and doesn’t require a lot of effort or dishes.

      Veggie Tart

      This makes a lovely lunch or dinner with a salad on the side. Tastes very French or Italian. Vegetarians who eat dairy will love it. This can also be served as a side dish with grilled meat. It really does stand well on its own though.

      Burger Stuffed Onions

      Truth be told I made this dish for my husband. He LOVES roasted onions. I had a craving for a burger, so this fit the bill. How much burger will fit in your onion depends on how big the onion is and how well you scoop it out.

      Juicy Tomato Pesto Tart

      I used big, ruby red and ripe tomatoes to make this. I cut the slices fairly thick too. That contributes to the juiciness. This is a perfect light dinner or lunch. I also added oven-cooked bacon as a protein side dish. A bit of extra bacon was also kept to be diced into bacon bits for the leftovers. Those we sprinkled on top. All magic!

      Chicken and Green Chiles Casserole

      This chicken casserole will remind you of chilies Rellenos. If you like those you’ll be a big fan of this low-carb dish. Simple to put together and toss in the oven. And Voila! Dinner. I serve with slices of avocado on the side dusted with a bit of grated sea salt.

      Dump and Bake Casserole (EASY)

      I’ll lay out the instructions with chicken, but it can also be made with ham, tuna (canned or fresh cooked) smoked chicken or even a pulled apart rotisserie chicken.

      Lobster Rolls

      The best lobster rolls I ever had were served by my mother-in-law Sally at their cottage in Maine. I never asked her for the recipe. Dumb me! I have been working to duplicate her recipe and this is the closest yet.

      Pecan Crusted Fish Fillets with Lemon Sauce

      I made my version of this with salmon because it’s my husband’s favorite. I can see this being done with any thick fish fillet. Some options might be cod, halibut, swordfish, or even tuna steak.

      Chicken Scallopini

      A traditional Italian meal made the Plan Z way. My husband declared this one of his favorite meals of the year.

      Cajun Butter Steak

      My version of this steak is done by searing and roasting the meat. You can also choose to do this on the grill. Choose your favorite steak cut. It was a special occasion at our place, so I used beef tenderloin.

      Outlaw Chili Verde

      This award-winning chili recipe won best Verde Chili by the International Chili Society in 2018. "Texas Chuck," the creator of this awesome recipe, made this chili using Mild Bills Spices (in case you're trying to get his authentic flavor).

      Tuna-Salad-Salad

      Tuna salad on top of a salad? Let's do it!

      Tuna Salad

      Dieter Sarah eats tuna salad to help her lose weight on ZReduction. This is her "magic" recipe.


      Starters, Salads & Sauces

      Grilled French Chicken Salad

      A new recipe! For my first ZReduction meal, I wanted something with some crunch and some class. I came up with this grilled French chicken salad.

      Blue Cheese Dressing

      This dressing is a wonderful addition to Plan Z offered up by dieter Nancy.

      Green Bean Salad

      This is a recipe that can be multiplied to feed the MASSES. And it can be left on a buffet and served room temperature for a few hours.

      Roasted Vegetable Salad

      This works well with all your favorite veggies, so enjoy!

      Beetroot, Carrot and Zucchini Salad

      This recipe is taken from the cookbook New Farm: Savoury Recipes from a Farmhouse Kitchen on the Isle of Bute by Carole Howard.

      Roasted Pear and Spinach Salad

      I designed this pear recipe to go with meat dishes. If you carve some turkey, slice some ham or grill up a pork tenderloin to go with this salad you’ll have a full meal.

      Side Salad for Holiday Shrimp Scampi

      This is a great little side salad, good with any dish.

      Shrimp Salad “Sandwich”

      Invent your own low carb “sandwich” that is a combination of both traditions. This is how a sandwich looks in ZLife. You can also serve this over greens and eat it anytime in ZReboot.

      Tequila-Mango Sauce

      This is an amazingly simple dish to make. You can look like a cooking whiz with this one even if you’re not.

      Barbecue Sauce – Zola Style

      Never use bottled barbecue sauce again!

      Tahini Dressing

      If you like sesame and garlic, you will love this dressing!

      Don’s Pizza Sauce

      You can use this pizza “sauce” for your pizza Zola style. Sauce is added warm after the pizza cheese portion is cooked. Make the pizza with no sauce or give this a try.

      Chinese Dipping Sauce

      This dipping sauce could go well with a grilled chicken breast or even a steak.

      Big Mac Sauce, “Zola-fied”

      For those missing their Big Mac, here’s the secret to the sauce!

      Creamy Cilantro-Lime Sauce

      Dieter Kurt offered up this recipe for a versatile sauce. If you like zing you’re going to love this sauce.

      Barbecue Chicken – Z3 Style

      There’s no way to use a commercial sauce for barbecued meats. They ALL have copious amounts of sugar in them. I know, I checked every bottle in the store.

      Barbecue Ribs – Zola Style

      There’s no way to use a commercial sauce for barbecue ribs. They ALL have copious amounts of sugar in them. I know.

      Steak with Asian “Gravy”

      In this picture you’ll see the steak served with a scattering of roasted butternut squash and a few bits of raw red bell pepper for color.

      Caprese Tomato Salad

      This makes a quick light appetizer that's pretty in the summer. Or it can be a side salad or even an Italian side dish to go great with grilled summer foods.

      Caramelized Roasted Garlic

      You will want to roast the garlic until it is lightly golden on the edges and the timing depends on your oven, the size of the garlic and the amount of oil you use.


      Appetizers

      Pear and Blue Cheese Dip

      You can use celery sticks to dip or a few of the wafer thin crackers. You can even just eat it with a spoon!

      Rockin’ Guacamole

      Efrem says, "This is a really easy to make, great tasting guacamole to accompany any Mexican dish.

      Creamed Spinach

      Creamed spinach makes a wonderful, old-school side dish or you can use it as a dip. Serve with Melba rounds and just reuse your rounds so you don’t eat more than 3 or 4.

      Scotch Eggs

      A traditional Scotch Egg involves wrapping sausage around a whole hard-boiled egg. It is commonly eaten in Scotland, where the Scots will eat this either as an appetizer or as part of a main meal.

      Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers

      Depending on the size of your peppers you might have filling left over. You can keep this for later. It will make a lovely stuffing for an omelet.

      Parmesan-Reggiano in the “Raw”

      There's only one ingredient in this recipe. The success is in the quality and the presentation. Cooking rookies and gourmets in a hurry can't beat this one for ease.

      Tomato Pizzettas

      This is a great side dish but also makes a great appetizer platter to bring to a party or get-together.

      Roasted Asparagus with Artichoke Heart “Sauce”

      Serve this with a simple small filet or grilled chicken breast for a wonderful meal.

      Eggplant Tomato Combo

      This eggplant tomato combo can be eaten as a side dish or as a spread. When I make an antipasti tray for an appetizer course, I’ll sometimes include this as a dip or spread for crackers.

      Apple Chips

      When we were at lunch the other day, Jen mentioned how dieters miss their crunch. She wondered if we could come up with a recipe for apple chips.

      Sweet and Spicy Pecans

      Instead of serving pecan pie, how about serving these as an appetizer/snack offering? They are amazingly addictive.

      Raspberry-Chipotle “Wings”

      Sweet and spicy wings with an unusual twist.

      Berries with Sweet Cream

      When you are on ZReduction even the least little bit of cream tastes like heaven. This is a super simple dessert that combines cream with your favorite berries.

      Hot Green Wings

      Here is the first of two wing dishes I served this Super Bowl. Judging by the empty plates and happy faces I think they went down very well.

      Shallot Onion Rings

      My husband loves these so much he asks for them probably 4 times a week and has even begun making them himself! They taste every bit as good as regular onion rings without the breading.

      Cheese Ball

      Dieter Misty wrote to me asking for a cheese ball recipe for the holidays. So I worked with Misty to come up with one that is all natural, REAL ingredients recipe. Hope you enjoy!

      Bacon-Wrapped Prunes

      Okay, this sounds weird but they are really quite tasty. A bit of salt with your sweet!


      Desserts

      Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

      Dieter Caitlin found the perfect fall recipe from Carolyn, the writer and recipe developer behind All Day I Dream About Food. This perfect pumpkin treat invites all the spice and warmth of autumn into your mouth without the additional unwanted carbs.

      Stone Fruit Crisp

      Showcasing some delicious stone fruit, this dessert will add a refreshing zing to your summer.

      Dark Cherry Dream

      This is a wonderfully light dessert. It comes together in a flash and can be mostly prepared ahead. Serve this to company and be proud.

      Cream Cheese Frosting

      This cream cheese frosting is LOVELY. I really enjoy it. I hope you do, too.

      Apple “Popcorn” with Toppings

      Going to the theatre or the movies? Pack this in a zippered baggie. The crunching of the apple won’t be any louder than the crunching of the popcorn. It’s a BIG YUM.

      Chocolate Chunk Cookies

      My first attempt at chocolate chip cookies that are low carb. They aren’t Toll House, but they are close enough to satisfy the craving.

      Cranberry Walnut Cookies

      This recipe was contributed by Plan Z dieter Nancy.

      Deep Chocolate Bars

      One of the most decadent offerings of Plan Z. This bar tastes more like a deep chocolate cake than a brownie.

      Chocolate Crusted Peanut Butter Tart

      When special occasions come up (like birthdays), don’t think cake. Think this! It’s light, creamy, rich and perfect for family and friends. Easy too!

      Almond Joy Cheesecake

      The design of this recipe was a challenge. I don’t mind admitting it, but I think I got it.

      Strawberry Rhubarb Bars

      This is a wonderful, sweet treat.

      Rhubarb Compote

      Serve this on top of SO Delicious vanilla ice cream (portion size ½ cup of ice cream) or on top of dieter Amy’s lemon pound cake. Or eat plain with whipped cream on top.

      Inside Out Apple Pie

      I served this at a fancy dinner party the other night and guests RAVED. No one missed the crust. They swooned over the pie with the dessert sauce.

      Stuffed Raspberry Brie

      A perfect dessert with a sophisticated flair.

      Jubilant Cherries

      Cherries that are a YES/Caution are Montmorency cherries. They are the same ones used in pies. This tastes just like pie filling. The color will be more pale because you will not be pouring in a bunch of red dye. You don’t need those chemicals in your system.

      Rich Chocolate Ice Cream

      Perfect little treat for those hot summer days.

      Italian Almond Cake

      This recipe was submitted by Plan Z dieter Nancy. Thanks Nancy.

      Raspberry Cream

      Such a simple and refreshing desert.

      Peanut Butter Fruit Dip

      This recipe contributed by Dieter Victoria. Victoria told us ‘With Memorial Day weekend right around the corner, I was trying to come up with a fun ”dip” for apples.

      Peanut Butter Balls

      This treat is the PERFECT answer to staying out of your kid’s Easter basket. This candy is amazingly luscious. So decadent. Eat them in moderation and you can have your candy and eat it too!

      FAQS

      HOW MUCH DOES THE PLAN Z DIET COST?

      A Plan Z membership costs $19/month. For your materials, you can purchase a starter kit for as little as $237. Your starter kit includes the four phases, the Plan Z manual which walks you through the program day by day, three bottles of ZR50 Crave Control spray, access to the Plan Z recipe and blog site, daily coaching emails, and the support of the Plan Z staff and coaches. If you would like to start with 6 bottles of Crave Control spray, your initial order would be as low as $353 plus $19/month. Plan Z members can purchase spray and receive coaching as long as their membership is active.

      Plan Z costs a fraction of what it costs to be overweight. Health economists for the Centers for Disease Control say that obesity costs overweight people an additional $1470 per year in increased medical bills and medication costs. Losing weight can actually save you money and aggravation.

      There is no comparison when it comes to the speed at which the weight comes off on Plan Z. No other diet gives you the structure that makes this a plan for life and not just another diet.

      OTHER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

      ORDERING & PAYMENTS

      If you have an obesity related illness and your doctor recommends you lose weight, Plan Z is likely covered by your insurance. Ask your doctor to give you a letter of medical necessity on their letterhead saying they recommend Plan Z. Click here to download a sample form of what the letter should look like. Or you can have them fill out this form. Take both forms to your doctor and let them decide which one they prefer to use. Submit the paperwork and your Plan Z packing slip to your insurance company for reimbursement.

      If you are overweight and struggling with obesity related health issues you can use your HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) debit card to pay for Plan Z as long as it has a MasterCard or Visa logo on it. Just make sure your doctor submits a letter of medical necessity (or this form) to your insurance company so that the charge is approved. Keep a copy of your itemized Plan Z receipt for your records.

      All insurance plans are different. If you are unsure if your insurance covers Plan Z check with your insurance provider before ordering.

      THE PROGRAM

      The ZR50 Crave Control spray is a homeopathic spray designed to relieve the discomforts of dieting. When you go cold turkey off of sugar, artificial sweeteners and preservatives, your body rebels.

      For starters, most people get a headache. Others start to get the jitters. It might get so bad their hands shake. That makes it difficult to type or do other hand-work. Some get achy. Some experience slight nausea. Pretty much everybody gets crabby. And the cravings. For many, they can be overwhelming. All of this adds up to an intolerable situation for the dieter and oftentimes for those around them.

      ZR50 is designed to eliminate, or at least ameliorate, all of these conditions. It helps keep you on an even keel as you go through Plan Z so you can diet comfortably and successfully.

      For medical information about the ZR50 Crave Control spray and its ingredients, please go to our medical professionals page.

      You have to unlearn the bad diet advice you’ve been fed for years. Our so-called “obesity epidemic” in the USA is only about thirty years old. We started to fatten up in the early 1980s shortly after the U.S. Senate passed its Dietary Guidelines for America (1977). The government advised us to reduce our fat consumption from 40% to 30% and replace the fat with carbohydrates.

      Food companies jumped in and started making low fat, “diet” foods filled with enough sugar and high fructose corn syrup to make them palatable. We know that sugar is a main contributor to obesity in America but food manufacturers have not backed off on using varying forms of sugar in their recipes.

      When we got fatter, they replaced natural sugars with artificial sweeteners, unnatural flavorings, and preservatives. These things reduce the natural sugar content in foods but they wreak havoc on your metabolism. And we still didn’t lose weight.

      So, the “experts” told us that we needed to exercise more. What a monumental mistake. The problem is, while exercise may burn calories, it also stimulates hunger. After an intense workout your body will need to replenish the calories it just burned. How does it do that? By sending you signals that you’re hungry and you need to eat!

      Today, Americans spend billions on diet foods and health club memberships – more than they ever had in the past. And yet, between 1998 and 2008, the number of “clinically” obese Americans grew 37% according to the Centers for Disease Control.

      We now know fat doesn’t make you fat. Complex carbohydrates and sugar make you fat–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.

      Knowing why we get fat in the first place is the first step towards keeping the weight off. Plan Z takes a completely different approach to weight loss: we work on your body and your brain.

      Yes. You can do this diet easily at work. We know you have to go to work so we have a Zola to Go! section on our member site with recipes for planning, preparing, and packing meals and snacks that travel well. We can accommodate you even if you are traveling back and forth between two cities as you prepare for your wedding day. We’ve helped pilots, flight attendants, and even traveling salespeople lose weight while on the job. We’ve even helped a company of firefighters lose hundreds of pounds together.

      Do you travel? Do you go out for meals? We’ll show you how to stay on Plan Z while eating in restaurants. Plus, Plan Z is totally family friendly. Your family can eat the same food you do–they’ll just have different portions because they’re not taking the ZR50 Reduction formula. No need to make your “diet food” and then make “regular” food for your family.

      Have kids? Kids LOVE the food. You choose what you want to eat every day from Zola’s approved food list. This way Plan Z becomes part of your thinner lifestyle. You can set an example for your children and pass on valuable eating habits to them. We even have recipes for things like healthy chicken nuggets and tiny meatloaves.

      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. You just had the wrong information until now. We believe if you had the right information you’d act on it and you’d likely be thinner than you are right now. But there is too much misinformation in the diet market place. Here’s why: 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. Their so-called “diet” foods are filled with starch, sugar, artificial flavoring, and high fructose corn syrup.

      Those ingredients have contributed to America’s obesity epidemic and along with American companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald’s (and many others) they are exporting our obesity epidemic to the rest of the world. Their business plan and packaged foods keep you dieting and buying their foods for the rest of your life. My business plan is to help you break the endless cycle of weight gain and help you move forward into your new life.

      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.

      Your health is one reason to lose a lot of weight! Obesity causes or exacerbates all of these diseases:

      • Hypertension (Zola was on blood pressure meds until she developed and did Plan Z. After losing 28 pounds the first month she was able to come off the meds completely)
      • Type 2 Diabetes — One Plan Z Insider called us to say he was off his insulin on day four (with his doctor’s blessing!) of his ZReduction phase of Plan Z. He’d been on insulin since 1999!
      • 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. 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. Diet companies win when you don’t lose enough to stop dieting. My plan helps you lose weight and keep it off.

      When are you going to get to the part where you tell me I have to get on a treadmill for an hour a day or this won’t work?

      I’m NOT going to tell you that. I’m going to tell you to go walk the dog, or if you don’t have a dog, just chill. NO EXERCISE on ZReduction. Let me be clear. I think exercise is great. I think it’s important. Right now my exercise regimen includes regular yoga and weight lifting. What I will tell you though is we know two things about exercise (even the medical community will agree with me on this). Exercise will make you stronger. It will also make you hungry.

      While you are on ZReduction, your energy should be put into enjoying the dieting experience. People who are seriously overweight have a difficult time approaching exercise and they take a deep sigh of relief when I tell them they don’t have to exercise to lose weight. You are not going to lose muscle mass. You’re only on ZReduction for 50 days; and if you don’t currently exercise, your lifestyle and routine are just going to remain the same. You ARE, however, going to lose fat. When you get to the ZReboot phase of the diet we are going to recommend you find an exercise program that suits your lifestyle. If you want to tighten up the loose bits left after losing the weight, you’re going to have to exercise to tighten up. Some tightening will occur naturally during a process we call ‘reshaping’ but for the bigger issues, you’ll need a targeted routine. Once you’ve completed ZReduction we recommend non-impact exercise, like yoga, Pilates and weight lifting. Too much emphasis has been made on exercises that tax your joints and your bones. There are plenty of things you can do that don’t wear out your skeleton. And they don’t all require a gym membership.

      Plan Z dieters who are a little older talk about how fun it is to chase the grandchildren around the park instead of sitting on the park bench watching. They get on a swing with the kids and laugh. They feel like getting exercise now. They might want to take a long walk in the sunshine and even include speeding up their pace so they get a bit of heart benefit in an aerobic mode. Some get heavily into gardening and growing their own veggies. You can take walks in the woods and learn how to forage for wild mushrooms. There’s a lot more to life than your TV screen or your computer.

      The best part is when you get off a considerable amount of weight you FEEL like exercising. A whole new world of activities opens up. People say their joints don’t hurt as much. You might feel like getting on a bike and tooling around the neighborhood. Or you might feel like a vacation in San Francisco but this time the hills won’t look so daunting. Or join a bowling league. I’m just tossing out ideas, folks.

      THE GUARANTEES

      I understand if you’re 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 and has even done Plan Z! Even if you believe Plan Z worked for me and thousands of others, you may have failed on so many diets you just can’t believe it will work for you. I want you to feel completely safe investing in your thinner future.

      We are so confident in Plan Z that the diet has two guarantees:

      Medical Professionals

      FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS

      This section is for dieters and their health care professionals, including allopaths (MD’s), homeopaths (MRPharmS, RSHomeopathy), naturopaths, integrative medicine specialists and other health care professionals who are interested in Plan Z. You will find some of this content elsewhere on the website, but this section takes a deeper dive into some of the science and research related to Plan Z and ZR50 Crave Control spray.

      What we are doing here is laying out the most frequently asked questions we get from the health care community and attempting to answer those questions to your satisfaction. We expect this section to grow organically over time. Dieters and/or their health care professionals are encouraged to call our offices at 800-255-9853 with any questions.

      Plan Z by Zola does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Clients who register for Plan Z fill out a medical waiver as part of their registration. That waiver directs them to continue to accept responsibility for their medical care and status and remain in touch with their health care professional. Plan Z does not (and is not intended to) replace a client’s health care professional. Plan Z is another tool in a dieter’s arsenal to lose weight and keep it off. The content of the Plan Z website is for informational purposes only. The content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

      Calcarea carbonica, nux vomica, taraxacum and magnesium phosphorica are the ingredients.

      All ingredients are in homeopathic dilution. They are all natural, plant and mineral based. There are no hormones included in the formula. There are no stimulants of any kind, such as caffeine, ephedra, or any other stimulants. All ingredients are FDA approved. The ZR50 Crave Control spray is protected by US Patent #8551535. It’s exclusive to Plan Z.

      The ingredients are all in 6c potency and are suspended in a 23% alcohol solution as a preservative. If a client needs a version that has no alcohol, a specific solution can be manufactured. It’s a special order and will take more time, but it can be done.

      The ZR50 Crave Control spray is a homeopathic spray designed to relieve the discomforts of dieting. When you go cold turkey off of sugar, artificial sweeteners and preservatives, your body rebels.

      For starters, most people get a headache. Others start to get the jitters. It might get so bad their hands shake. That makes it difficult to type or do other hand-work. Some get achy. Some experience slight nausea. Pretty much everybody gets crabby. And the cravings. For many, they can be overwhelming. All of this adds up to an intolerable situation for the dieter and oftentimes for those around them.

      ZR50 is designed to eliminate, or at least ameliorate, all of these conditions. It helps keep you on an even keel as you go through Plan Z so you can diet comfortably and successfully.

      More specifically, and according to Clarkes Dictionary, the ingredients in ZR50 have been known to provide relief for the following symptoms:

      CALC CARB

      • Great plumpness and excessive obesity.
      • Tendency in children and young persons to grow very fat.
      • Hunger, a short time after having eaten.
      • Frequent nausea, especially in the morning, in the evening, or at night
      • Pressive, or pinching pain in the stomach, or cramp-like and contractive pains, chiefly after a meal.
      • Cramps in the stomach at night.
      • Inflation and swelling of the epigastrium and of the region of the stomach, with painful sensibility of those parts to the touch.
      • Tension and inflation of the abdomen.
      • Enlargement and hardness of the abdomen.
      • Unpleasant taste in the mouth, mostly bitter, or sour, or metallic, especially in the morning.
      • Risings, with taste of undigested, or bitter, or sour food.

      NUX VOMICA

      • Anguish, anxiety, and excessive uneasiness, often with agitation which allows no rest whatever
      • Anxiety and restlessness in the evening.
      • Acid taste in mouth, worse in morning, or after eating
      • Craving for alcohol, coffee, stimulants.
      • Disordered stomach from over-eating
      • Painful sensitiveness in pit of stomach to least pressure.
      • Aching, tension, fullness, and distension of abdomen, and especially of epigastrium, worse after a meal.
      • Sensation of heaviness, and swelling in abdomen.
      • Cramp-like, contractive, and compressive pains, or cuttings and shootings, or sharp and drawing pains in the umbilical region

      MAG PHOS

      • Mag-p. is in the first rank as a pain remedy, and it has all kinds of pain (though cramping pain is the most characteristic)
      • Spasms of various kinds.
      • Aching feeling in arms and legs, weak and trembling.
      • Bloated, full sensation in abdomen, must loosen clothing.
      • Much flatus in bowels, passing off freely on walking, worse after evening meal.

      TARAXACUM

      • This remedy acts well in all affections of the liver.
      • Sensation of weakness and uneasiness throughout body, with constant necessity to lie down or to sit.
      • Gastric and bilious attacks, especially gastric headaches, the headaches are generally pressive.
      • Jaundice, liver obstruction.
      • Worse from fatty food.

      Dieters spray the ZR50 Crave Control formula under their tongue 4 times a day to keep up a steady and comfortable dieting pace.

      The ZR50 Crave Control spray is homeopathic. We have not had any reports of drug interactions. Many of our clients are on medications for various ailments/conditions, including but not limited to: diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hormonal replacements, depression and more.

      Blood pressure:
      The blood pressure of Plan Z clients typically begins to normalize very early in the diet. We recommend dieters work with their health care professionals so they can be monitored and adjust medications if necessary. Over time, many Plan Z clients are able to reduce or get off medications for high blood pressure.

      Insulin levels:
      Type 2 Diabetes: Insulin levels in Plan Z clients typically begin to normalize very early in the diet. We recommend dieters work with their health care professionals so they can be monitored and adjust medications if necessary. Many Plan Z clients are able to reduce or get off their medications for Type 2 Diabetes over time.

      Type 1 Diabetes:
      Close monitoring by a health care professional is highly recommended. We always ask dieters who report themselves as Type 1 diabetics to consult with their health care professional in advance of starting Plan Z.

      Potassium Drop:
      We’ve had a few reported instances where potassium levels have measured lower in Plan Z dieters. Here’s what we found in researching this topic:

      There can be an almost reflexive drop in K with the initiation of a low-carb diet. The reduction is temporary and can be addressed by ingesting a little more sodium. (We recommend Plan Z dieters to consume grated, organic sea salt and not processed table salt.) The reduction in carbs (and presumed conversion to ketogenesis) temporarily affects the renin-angiotensin system of the kidneys and by adding sodium to the diet in the first 2-3 weeks, the kidneys then secrete Na instead of K, alleviating this temporary “potassium deficiency.”

      Additionally, hypertension is often driven by insulin resistance, so if Plan Z dieters are becoming more sensitive to insulin by starting a low-carb diet, their BP might drop a bit and if they are on loop diuretics, they’ll start secreting K because of the medication, more so than what they might normally while on a loop diuretic for otherwise elevated BP. Here’s a link to a NCBI study that looks at this dietary drop in K: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18176291

      Dieters eat real food from the grocery store.

      On ZReduction, dieters eat 2 full meals or 2 smaller meals with 4 snacks. The majority of items are low carbohydrate. The recipes are characteristically EASY to make. Most take less than 20 minutes to prepare. Protein, vegetables and fruits are emphasized for the ZReduction portion of the diet. When dieters get to the ZReboot portion of the diet, more fats and oils are added back into the mix. The ZR50 Crave Control spray helps address the negative side effects of dieting which helps make dieters more comfortable throughout the process. The meals and snacks can be spread out in any order or amount throughout the day.

      We recommend dieters drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and help in their weight loss. Latest studies show people should be drinking approximately 100 oz of water per day, or half of their body weight in ounces; whichever is less. We find that dieters who drink approximately 100 oz per day lose approximately 30% more weight than those who drink less.

      We do not decaffeinate our dieters. Coffee and tea are both allowed. We recommend sparkling water with natural flavorings. Soda is not allowed.

      You can contact us to see the comprehensive food lists we offer. We don’t tell our dieters what to eat. They choose what they want to eat from the approved food lists and can even eat in restaurants.

      People say this doesn’t taste like a diet. They are not eating something they zapped in a microwave or something that came from a box. They are eating real food. Their families can eat the same foods in larger portions.

      If you are overweight and struggling with obesity related health issues you can use your HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) debit card to pay for Plan Z as long as it has a MasterCard or Visa logo on it. Just make sure your doctor submits a letter of medical necessity (or this form) to your insurance company so that the charge is approved. Keep a copy of your itemized Plan Z receipt for your records.

      Health Insurance Reimbursement: If you have an obesity related illness and your doctor recommends you lose weight, Plan Z is likely covered by your insurance. Ask your doctor to give you a letter of medical necessity on their letterhead saying they recommend Plan Z. Click here to download a sample form of what the letter should look like. Or you can have them fill out this form. Take both forms to your doctor and let them decide which one they prefer to use. Submit the paperwork and your Plan Z packing slip to your insurance company for reimbursement.

      All insurance coverages are different, so check with your insurance provider for more info or call us at 800-255-9853.

      Our goal is to unwind 60 years of diet misinformation and give dieters a whole new route to follow. Dieters receive a manual that walks them through the program, and daily coaching emails that guide them step by step. The Plan Z staff is available to answer questions as fast as dieters can come up with them.

      Dieters choose what they eat. They have the ZR50 Crave Control spray in their system to help curb the cravings. Dieters are not burning water weight. By eliminating sugars, starches and heavy fats we counter the effects of hyper-insulinism and get the liver and pancreas working in concert to provide proper digestion and dissemination of food so it fuels the body instead of mostly being turned into fat and waste.

      We don’t take away fruit like other major low carb diets. Dieters decide what they are hungry for, make a grocery list and go buy their food. It is all very flexible.

      As part of the structure we also afford an opportunity to communicate with fellow dieters. Dieters read their stories, post their own, ask questions and get answers. Of course you can get your answers from our team too but sometimes it’s just fun to share with other dieters. It’s all out in the open.

      Our so-called “obesity epidemic” in the USA is only about thirty years old. We started to fatten up in the early 1980s shortly after the U.S. Senate passed its Dietary Guidelines for America (1977). The government advised us to reduce our fat consumption from 40% to 30% and replace the fat with carbohydrates.

      Food companies jumped in and started making low fat, “diet” foods filled with enough sugar and high fructose corn syrup to make them palatable. We know that sugar is a main contributor to obesity in America but food manufacturers have not backed off on using varying forms of sugar in their recipes.

      When we got fatter, they replaced natural sugars with artificial sweeteners, unnatural flavorings, and preservatives. These things reduce the natural sugar content in foods but they wreak havoc on your metabolism. And we still didn’t lose weight.

      So, the “experts” told us that we needed to exercise more. What a monumental mistake. The problem is, while exercise may burn calories, it also stimulates hunger. After an intense workout your body will need to replenish the calories it just burned. How does it do that? By sending you signals that you’re hungry and you need to eat!

      Today, Americans spend billions on diet foods and health club memberships – more than they ever had in the past. And yet, between 1998 and 2008, the number of “clinically” obese Americans grew 37% according to the Centers for Disease Control.

      We now know fat doesn’t make you fat. Complex carbohydrates and sugar make you fat–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.

      Knowing why we get fat in the first place is the first step towards keeping the weight off. Plan Z takes a completely different approach to weight loss: we work on the body and the brain.

      Once dieters finish ZReduction, we work with them for another six weeks. We introduce them to a new way of eating that includes many delicious dishes to help them maintain their weight loss. Our dieters report that they can eat MORE than they used to eat before they started the diet. They just have to eat the right stuff.

      If you don’t believe us, here is what the latest research is saying:


      Response written by Zola:

      NO EXERCISE while you are losing weight.

      I think exercise is great. I think it’s important. Right now my exercise regimen includes regular yoga and weight lifting.

      What I will tell you though is we know two things about exercise. (Even the medical community will agree with me on this). Exercise will make you hungry and it will make you stronger. There are clear benefits.

      While you are on ZReduction your energy is going to be put into enjoying the dieting experience. People who are seriously overweight have a difficult time approaching exercise and they take a deep sigh of relief when I tell them they don’t have to exercise to lose weight.

      Response written by Zola:

      There is no other diet company that has the same kind of guarantees that we do (at least not that I have found).

      In fact, we have two guarantees for Plan Z.

      The first one is our 100% Money Back Guarantee. If you sign up for Plan Z, get the materials, review them and decide this diet just won’t fit your lifestyle you can return everything and we will promptly refund your money. Please note that you may not use the ZR50 and then return the materials.

      Our 100% Money Back Guarantee allows you the opportunity to take the materials to your Health Care Professional for review if you want to. Health Care Professionals all over the country are beginning to recommend Plan Z. Some Health Care Professionals even have used Plan Z as their own weight loss plan. It’s catching on. In fact, it’s mushrooming.

      We are not one of those companies that publishes a return phone number that no one answers. Stay away from those folks. They just want your money and then they run.

      We have another unique guarantee. I call it the Skeptic’s Guarantee. Why? Because with all the hype in the diet industry I feel you have every right to be skeptical. My own skepticism slowed me down in starting this company because I did not want to be associated with all the charlatans that jump on board the diet industry wagon. I believe an educated and wary customer is a smart one.

      With the Skeptic Guarantee you’ll fill out a one page questionnaire so we can get to know your issues and why you might be skeptical. We just need to gather a starting evaluation point. Then you’ll pay for Plan Z and start.

      You will have 9 days during which YOU get to evaluate how well Plan Z is working for you. You’ll have a special coach who will help you get on a solid footing with the diet and that person will be there for the full nine days to answer questions and help you in whatever ways we can.

      At the end of Day 9 you’ll evaluate whether you feel you have lost a reasonable amount of weight on Plan Z. If the answer is yes, you’ll continue. If the answer is no, you’ll have the option to pack up everything and send it back. We’ll even pay the return postage. We’ll then give you all of your money back, minus $135. That means it will only have cost you $15 a day to see if we measure up. Please note that you may only use up to 2 bottles of the ZR50 during these 9 days. If you use additional bottles or fail to return the unused bottles, additional fees may apply.

      But I assure you we measure up. I can count the number of Skeptic Guarantee refunds I have given out without running out of fingers or toes. People love this diet.

      “You have blessed me beyond my wildest dreams. Since my mid 20’s my weight has been a yo-yo. To be fit took Spartan efforts or gimmicks. Your gift of sharing Plan Z has allowed me to first lose but then maintain using the Z Life methodology…. It’s like the reset button to start again in Z Life. It keeps hope alive and because I know it works, my confidence in my diet is resolved. You guys are the best.” – Dieter Chuck

      “I have lost the 20 lbs I wanted to and will look beautiful in my wedding dress…thanks to you bringing the Zola diet to me! Everyone is commenting on how great I look and I wanted to tell everyone about the Zola diet. I then realized that some are very “skeptical” about losing so much weight so fast and do not understand the whole theory. I am anxious to go into Z Reboot and then maintenance to prove to them that this is for real! A real way to reset my metabolism once and for all!” – Dieter Dede – the bride

      “The recipes are outstanding. I served them to guests and they didn’t know they were eating ‘diet food.’ I stuck with it and lost 20 pounds! I have not had this kind of success with ANY diet I’ve tried!” – Dieter Survey

      “Life saving, easy to do, food is absolutely delicious.” – Dieter Survey

      “I will continue to move to the healthy side of life and that I will be committed to living here. I owe it to myself, my husband, my kids, my siblings, and my future grand kids. I want to be around to enjoy them. And eating this way is not deprivation. It is glorious and beautiful. In fact, this weekend my sister and I made my parents the roast pork tenderloin with sun-dried tomato gravy and my mother proclaimed it ‘gourmet.'” – Dieter Diane

      “Love you” is not too strong. Thank you my friend. You have given me the life I always wanted to live. – Dieter Survey

      “I think us Zola dieters have so much in common…and we are just so thankful to have access to the [Plan Z by] Zola diet…I couldn’t have continued my weight loss or maintain any loss without this…I couldn’t ever totally change my ”mind” without this diet and I thank God for it every day!….Sometimes it’s just hard to find the words…the possibility of being able to meet your true ”goal” brings tears to my eyes…especially when people tell you it’s impossible…I never believed it…I always knew it was possible and had so much hope alive in myself. Thank you to the whole Zola team…I am on my 2nd reduction currently…day 23 and another 14.4 pounds down.” – Dieter Survey

      “I have to tell you – I am getting so excited for the next phase of my adventure – food has started to taste so amazing to me, and I am so excited to see how other things taste as I can add them back into my life. Plus, my daughter is learning such good examples by now having more fruit options in her life, and she is even trying a few of my veggies which she would NEVER do before – it is great!!! I love when I can make something that the whole family can enjoy – like sloppy joes and the mini meatloaves – amazing!!!” – Dieter Liz

      “The recipes are beyond fantastic…I have dieted and dieted and dieted so many times and I’m also a fan of positive thinking so I’m straddled between “is this really going to work?” and “OMG, is it possible I will NEVER have to think about my weight again?” Like if I could do that, there would be so much energy to put into other things…I have “only” 20# to lose, and I’ve done it before — a few times keeping it off for a year (which I viewed as a success). Isagenix, The Diet Center (in NY) and The French Diet which consisted of bootleg appetite suppressants flown in from Paris in a plain brown wrapper (can’t believe I did that). BUT after that diet I absolutely cannot take appetite suppressants anymore — makes me jerky, head spinning, dry mouthed. In my work, I have to think, negotiate, and do research — I can’t mess with my head. And voila! The Zola remedy (ZR50) is unrecognizable in my system. No change in mental gymnastics….The constant communication is also great. If you can anticipate what people are experiencing and clue them in — who wants solace? I want solutions! — Then you’re offering a great service above and beyond the typical diet. It’s a great education. Every day I’m prompted to read more and more. It would seem this is very scientific and a delicate balance to achieve. Carry on! I’m in!” – Dieter Barbara
