The Zone Diet was created by Barry Sears, PhD. Dr. Sears was a former researcher in bio technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The Zone Diet starts by retooling your metabolism with a diet that is 30% protein, 30% fat, and 40% carbohydrate. The Diet Claims that you can expect to turn back encroaching heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
The Zone does not recommend that you eat fewer calories than you're currently consuming, just different ones. Although the book has a more complicated and exacting measurement of what to eat, it can be simplified as:
- A small amount of protein at every meal and at every snack
- "Favorable" carbohydrates twice the size of the protein portion -- these include most vegetables and lentils, beans, whole grains, and most fruits
- A smaller amount of carbohydrates if you have chosen "unfavorable" ones -- these include brown rice, pasta, papaya, mango, banana, dry breakfast cereal, bread, bagel, tortilla, carrots, and all fruit juices.
Sticking with a diet can be hard wok, But you CAN LOSE WEIGHT, Don't give up!!!! There are many Weight loss Diets and programs. The Zone Diet is one of many that may help |
