The Zone Diet

The human body is capable of tolerating extremes in environment and demand, ready to rise to our every whim and pursue our every dream. Because it is so tolerant and efficient, we are truly insulated from the details of its performance. It seems to work no matter how much we abuse it.

The Zone Diet advocates balancing the insulin level of the body. The diet is based on a balance of carbohydrates and proteins so that insulin level is not too high and not too low.

Balance is an old, common sense idea in nutrition. It says that a healthy diet has a balance of a variety of foods in moderate amounts.

Modern science has confirmed and brought precision to this old notion. By eating the correct balance and amount of these foods, you may lose weight without feeling hungry. You may also increase your general sense of well-being.

The Zone Diet Approach

Here are some of the characteristics of the Zone Diet.

The Zone Diet plan principles states that a healthy, well balanced block of food consists of 100 calories with 40% of the calories coming from carbohydrates, 30% from protein and 30% from fat.

Your food should contain more grams of carbohydrates than proteins because carbohydrates contain fewer calories per gram than protein.

It should also contain more protein than fat, because protein contains fewer calories per gram than fat. The trick is to get the number of grams of each food type to be the right amount to give the "40/30/30" calorie balance known as the Zone.

The Basic principle that makes the Zone Diet very successful is that it reduces your hunger cravings.

Unlike, high-protein diets or high-carbohydrate diets, it maintains a balance of insulin within the body, thus, minimizing any risk factors involved.

Each Individuals fat percentage, level of activity, and gender is assessed and then a meal plan is designed accordingly.
