Kevin Bateman & Carol Bateman’s story

Kevin Bateman and Carol Batemans background is that they are both Registered Medical Laboratory Scientists with extensive experience in medical science. This knowledge fits perfectly with the requirements necessary to work with their clients in the Zone Nutrition programme. A familiar tale Like many other people Carol and Kevin had tried many diets and weight loss programmes. For over 10 years they had followed conventional nutritional advice based on the "Healthy" Pyramid - eating carbohydrates like bread, rice and pasta with a small amount of lean protein and very restricted amounts of fat.  But it just didn’t work. Kevin was significantly overweight and his cholesterol and blood pressure were high. Carol was starting to put on weight and was suffering from allergies and asthma.  They got into the Zone in March 1997 and never looked back. Kevin shed 23 kilos in the first 6 months and his cholesterol and blood pressure dropped. Importantly, Kevin has effortlessly stayed at his ideal weight and continues to enjoy his improved health in the following years to the present time. Carol reversed her weight gain trend, stopped suffering from allergies and is no longer an asthmatic. Both love their easy, enjoyable Zone eating lifestyle.

In September 1999 Kevin and Carol attended a Zone instructor’s course in San Francisco. On passing the exam they became the two of the first Certified Zone Instructors in Australasia. In 2001 they refreshed their knowledge with an advance course taken by Dr Barry Sears (creator of the Zone). They also attended the 1st International Zone Conference in Mexico in 2004. Carol and Kevin have met with Dr Sears several times for social and business purposes. Kevin and Carol have had over nine years experience of eating in the Zone themselves and simplifying it all for others. They have developed concepts, aids and a book to make it all enjoyable and easy. Kevin has had a large number of articles published internationally and is consulted by people from all over the world on Zone matters There are critics of Zone Nutrition but these are getting less and less as more research is being done and more is understood about nutrition and how our bodies work.  Informed opinion is unequivocal. Following is what leading New Zealand diet expert, Dr Jim Mann professor of Human Nutrition at Otago University has to say about the Zone: “It makes good sense in terms of nutritional principles”,“It is often associated with impressive weight loss” and “I know a lot of people who have done well on it”.  Science aside we simply stand by the results. We see a large number of people every year and 80% to 90% of them are referred by word-of-mouth from our happy clients. By late 2006 we had worked with over 4000 people and every one that has seriously (and many not so seriously) adopted Zone Nutrition has been delighted with the results. Get into the Zone and see for yourself just how good it feels.
