The Zone Diet
According to some scientific
research, the human body is at its healthiest when consuming
only two types of food, these are lean protein and natural
carbohydrates such as fruits and vegetables. The basis
of the Zone Diet is that the human genes have not changed
much since the human life form began over 100,000 years
ago, when grains and processed carbohydrates did not exist.
Therefore, the human body is at its healthiest and will
achieve weight loss when consuming
foods that were around since the beginning, such as meat,
fruits, and vegetables.
A diet high in carbohydrates,
as recommended by the US Government, induces the body
to secrete higher amounts of insulin, which turns excess
carbohydrates into fat that your body stores. The Zone
believes that controlling your insulin level is the key
to controlling your weight and successfully achieving
weight loss. A weight loss program
that controls insulin includes only low-density carbohydrates,
dietary fat, and protein at a ratio of 40:30:30.
If you follow
the Zone diet plan, you will lose weight, due to the
very low calorie intake while enjoying foods high in protein
such as roast beef and steaks. For more information, visit:
