History
-
Arlene Sherman and her son Jeff founded Zone Seattle in 2003. They used the principles of the Zone diet, which uses the 40 percent carbohydrate, 30 percent protein and 30 percent good fats formula.
Deborah Lane developed Chef to Go in 1997 out of her gourmet personal chef business. Chef to Go uses the South Beach diet concept, which has three phases. In Phases 1 and 2, carbohydrates are limited, but then healthy carbs are added back to the diet.
