The Zone Diet is based on a balanced diet of 40% carbohydrates, 30% proteins and 30% fats. The carbohydrates are "good carbs" such as fruits and vegetables and not from white flour or other processed proteins like sugar and pasta, which are considered "bad carbs". The fats are monounsaturated like olive oil, nuts & avocados and not "bad fats" like transfaty acids, egg yolks and fatty red meats.
The Zone Diet allows you to eat frequent small meals throughout the day to keep your insulin levels in control. It is suggested that you eat three full meals and 2 snacks per day to help you feel satisfied. The Zone Diet does not require buying special diet products or foods, as the meals can be made with very limited planning & preparation. There are Zone Perfect bars that are available for people looking for help on the Zone Diet plan.
The Zone Diet can help you achieve your desired weight goal, while getting your insulin levels under control. On the plan you will have more energy, be less hungry, and have better mental focus.
