What is the Zone Diet?
Originated by Dr. Barry Sears, the Zone Diet is based on the theory that there is an ideal nutritional balance for maximum calorie burning and physical performance. By getting your body into the "Zone", you can lose weight without feeling hungry, and feel more energetic too.
Dr. Sears says that carbohydrate consumption produces insulin, which causes more calories to be stored as fat. An ideal balance of 40 percent carbohydrate, 30 percent protein, and 30 percent fat will allow you to boost energy and vitality and increase lean muscle mass while you lose weight. Dr. Sears emphasizes that success with the Zone depends on eating this balance of macronutrients at each meal, including snacks. The Zone is intended as a long-term program that will help you to look and feel your best for life.
