Does the Zone Diet Work?
By Ugra
You may ask does the Zone Diet work? In that sense though all diets work because someone devised it, followed it and it worked. The only diet that never works is the, “Eat anything you want, as much as you want, all the time” diet!
Bluntly put, the Zone Diet works if you stick to it and don’t cheat. If you eat what you are supposed to, the diet will work. Eating the right foods is also the trick to making this diet work. The plan incorporates carbohydrates, proteins and fats into every regular meal. There are several recipe books and meal planners available in conjunction with the official Diet and the snacks may be a small serving of nuts or a small sweet treat before bed. Recommended portions, preferably measured, are part of the meal routine. If you really follow the Zone Diet to the letter, the plan does provide a system of blocks, or allowed units, for each meal component.
Zone Diet Book
Formally named Enter The Zone, the Zone diet book was jointly written by Dr. Barry Sears, a former research scientist at the Boston University School of Medicine and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Bill Lawren. Dr. Sears created the Zone diet which has caught the imagination of a lot of people. Food needs to be treated like medicine and should be consumed at the right time and in right quantity.
The theory behind this excellent diet as mentioned in the Zone diet book is that food needs to be consumed in the 40:30:30 ratio. 40% carbohydrates, 30% fat, and 30% protein – that should ideally be the composition of the food we eat. Vegetarians can substitute the proteins in the plan by vegetable proteins. There is another book “The Soy Zone” by Dr. Sears especially meant for vegetarians.
