The Zone Diet
- The Zone Diet is designed to promote healthy weight loss by allowing someone to eat the right combination of foods.
The Dieter maintains a balance, comprising a ratio of carbohydrates (40%), fat (30%) and proteins (30%), which control the body's insulin production.
"The Zone" is a term for proper hormonal balance you achieve while eating the balanced diet allowing insulin levels to be neither too high nor too low. This will release a natural anti-inflammatory that is heart healthy and will allow the body to burn calories more efficiently.
