Zone Food Blocks
1998 • rrp $45.00 • Paperback • ISBN:0060392428
Is basically a long food list containing mostly American products.
My verdict
Would be good for Americans, but is really only for zealous Australian Zoners. It's quite dear too.
Good features
- Thorough food block list.
Not so good features
- The thorough food block list is mostly American products.

On the cover of the newer What to Eat in the Zone it says "Originally published as Zone Food Blocks," but the food list in that book has been abbreviated to include only packaged or "prepared" foods and fast foods, so it contains far fewer useful entries than Zone Food Blocks.
So if you are looking for a longer list this is still your best option, but keep in mind the online food block database at www.ZoneDiet.com, and those of you familiar with grams and blocks can try the USDA's nutrient database.
