Zone Diet
The Zone Diet is a relatively new and sophisticated weight loss program,
which promotes the idea that a balanced diet should consist of 40 percent
carbohydrates, 30 percent proteins, and 30 percent fats. This 40-30-30
system has been adopted by hundreds of thousands across the globe. It
has demonstrated real and tangible results for many.
The key to losing weight on the Zone Diet is to understand your own metabolic
processes and to work in conjunction with your doctor to develop a heart-healthy,
sensible lifestyle program. Some of the basic principles of the Zone Diet
are more widely applicable. For instance, when you wake up in the morning,
it's a smart move to eat within one hour of rousing so as to dampen your
appetite later in the day.
Reduce Cravings on the Zone Diet
The Zone Diet suggests that you should drink at least eight glasses of
water per day. Not only does this hydration help to flush out toxins,
but it also keeps your body feeling full and thus reduces the urge to
snack. Another lauded feature of the Zone Diet is that, if you fall off
the program for a meal or two, you simply get back on the wagon--there's
no catch up period.
Of course, studies are mixed as to the efficacy of the 40-30-30 plan.
Yet there's an emerging consensus among physicians and health-care workers
that this kind of light carbohydrate eating is actually effective not
just in treating obesity but also in preventing chronic conditions like
hypoglycemia and heart disease. It's well worth reading up on the Zone
Diet, if only to learn the general principles of low carb weight management.
