The Zone Diet
The Zone Diet is a low carb and high protein diet. The concept came from wanting to achieve hormonal balance when people eat a balance of carbohydrates, protein and fats. It will aid in weight loss, fat loss and a lot of health benefits.
This high-structured diet consists of ...
- 30% protein (lean chicken, turkey, other poultry, egg whites, low-fat or non-fat dairy products)
- 30% fats (little amounts of olive and canola oil)
- 40% carbohydrates (non-starchy vegetables, barley, fruits, oatmeal, small amounts of grains)
This diet does not recommend that you eat fewer calories than you’re already consuming. You will have a meal between 2 to 2.5 hours after a snack, whether you’re hungry or not. Every meal or snack, it is important to assess your hunger level- if you’re not hungry and your mind is clear, you are in The Zone.
