The concepts encourages people to have 5 smaller meals per day instead of 3 large meals. This gives a sense of fullness to us and also curbs over eating.
Basically the Zone Diet iPhone app is a information center which gives the user in depth details on the Zone Dieting concept.

Pros of the Zone Diet App are:
1) In depth details on the Zone Diet Concept
2) Easy to access menus covering all the areas of the concept
3) Videos explaining the concept
Cons of the Zone Diet App are:
1) App is not free for download.
2) Provides information which is already available over the internet for free.
Overall the app has good navigation and easy to read text. But being the fact that it is only an information center does not justify the cost of the app in iTunes. Most of the above information can be found of the internet for free. Making an app dedicated to the information and putting a price on it is probably not the best move. Instead it could have been a free app with some advertisements in between.
