Is the Zone diet right for you?

The Zone Diet

The Zone diet aims to help people lose weight by controlling their insulin levels and giving them optimum nutrition that promotes fat release and peak performance. Unlike Atkins, it is not a low-carbohydrate diet - more of a balanced, good carbohydrate diet.

 According to Sears, this keeps your insulin levels low and helps your body stay in the Zone of peak performance with maximum fat burning.Zone followers eat 5 times a day, 3 meals and 2 snacks.

 The Zone Diet contains 40% carbohydrate, 30% protein, and 30% fat and is known as the 40-30-30 plan.

 The Zone Diet’s approach calls for a return to the diets of our ancestors where meat, fruits, and vegetables are the main dietary foods.

 Sears asserts that by using the Zone Diet, you are actually optimizing the body’s metabolic function. Others argue that the Zone Diet has flawed ratios but Sears argues that the Zone diet is a low-glycemic-load diet that has adequate protein. .

 A critic of the Zone diet such as the AHA (American Heart Association) classifies the Zone Diet as high protein and does not recommend the Zone Diet for weight loss. The AHA issued an official recommendation warning against diets like the Zone Diet. 

The Zone Diet Program Tips
