Zone Diet Basics

The Zone Diet Basics are a low carbohydrate, low calorie diet that removes refined sugars, starches, and grains. While promoting proper portion size and increased exercise.

This kind of sounds like this website, doesn't it?

Does the Zone Diet Work?
If you stick to the diet and develop the eating habits that are recommended by Dr. Barry Sears Zone Diet. The answer to the question of "Does the Zone Diet work?" Should be a resounding yes. The principles pushed in the Zone Diet books are based on sound, healthy eating and exercise practices.

Zone Diet Basics

Enter the Zone Diet
You enter the Zone Diet by being introduced to the concept of eating five times a day, with EVERY eating session being based around a 40:30:30 ratio.
That is: 40% of calories from Carbs, 30% from Protein, and 30 from fat.
Now, we're not talking about eating heavily processed grains or sugars as a carb source. Nor about Fatty Red Meats for Protein. And we are talking about healthy unsaturated fats from natural sources, with a heavy emphasis on fish, olive, and nut oils.
Zone Diet Blocks
Dr Barry Sears Zone diet breaks portions down into Zone Diet Blocks.
These Blocks each consist of one each of a mini block of protein, fat, and carbs. A mini block is 7 grams of low fat protein, 9 grams of carbs from fruits or vegetables, or 3 grams of fat.
You are alloted a number of Zone Diet Blocks based on your weight, height, and body proportions. Which are then spread out over 3 meals and 2 snacks.

If you come at this as a lifestyle change for better health, the zone diet could be what you are looking for for your weight loss goals.
But if you Look at it as a "Diet" you are doomed to failure, because when you stop eating this way, and return to the eating regiment that you came from, the pounds will fly back on.
