The Zone Diet - General Information

What is the principle behind the Zone Diet?
According to Dr. Barry Sears, the proponent of the Zone Diet, food is like a drug. You have to take the proper dosage during the right time. The main key to weight reduction is attaining adequate hormone balance and keeping the blood sugar levels stable. According to Dr. Sears, increased levels of insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels as well as other hormones, can lead to weight gain since it triggers inflammation. Dr. Sears claims that inflammation is a chief promoter of obesity.

According to him, an individual can ensure that insulin levels as well as other inflammation-triggering hormones stay "in the zone" - not too low or high, by consuming foods at each meal in the right ratio: 30 percent fat, 30 percent protein and 40 percent carbohydrates. The body requires the right balance of these macronutrients to stay slim and healthy and function at optimal levels.

How does the Zone diet work?
The Zone diet program usually puts a cap on the everyday calorie intake for men at 1,500 and women at 1,200. This is actually 2/3 to 3 quarters of the amount that is generally suggested for healthy individuals. You will have to consume five times daily: 3 major meals and 2 snacks. The only measuring aides that you will need are your hands and your eyes.

According to Dr. Sears, when preparing dinner for instance, divide your plate into 3 equal sections. In one section, place a low-fat protein, no more than can fit the size of the palm of your hand. This serving amount equates to 3 ounces for most females and 4 ounces for most men. Then load the 2 other sections with colorful carbohydrates such as steamed vegetables and fresh fruits. Top it all off with a drizzle of a healthy fat such as avocado oil, almonds, fish oil or olive oil.
