Do you want to know more about a diet which would help you to shed off excess fat in less time? Well, we would advise you to undertake the
Zone Diet.
The basic idea of the
Zone Diet is derived from the “glycemic load concept” of nutrition theory. The Zone offers a higher concentration of fats on the menu, but carefully keeps you away from the saturated fats, trans fats and Omega-6 fats which are usually the ‘trouble-creating agents’ in metabolism and may lead to higher incidence of obesity.
The
Zone Diet “ideally” includes low gycemic food (40 percent), proteins (30 percent), monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids (30 percent) and no cholesterol. The diet is probably too high in protein and too high in fats to be truly healthy. But the concept is believed to follow the profile of our ancient ancestors more closely than most other diets. The
diet has its legacy some 100000 years back when the hunter-gathers used to depend on lean protein and natural carbs to live healthy.
The Zone Diet is designed in accordance with out actual genetic make-up- it allows us to choose the right food in right quantities to give us enough energy, to achieve hormonal balance and to maintain insulin levels. The most revered feature of the
Diet is its significant contribution in weight reduction.
The Zone Diet food includes
- A good amount of fruits and low starch vegetables
- Low-fat protein foods such as chicken, fish, low fat cottage cheese
- Small amounts of olive or canola oil
- Restricted amount of low nutrition carbohydrates
- No saturated fat
For veggies, there is soy-based diet or the traditional pasta/bread/rice-based diet. Moreover, The ZonePerfect Nutrition Company, the parent organization that officially proposed the
Zone Diet, has either manufactured or endorsed a wide range of food supplements. These include specialized Diet bars, diet meals, protein shakes and powders, hormone stimulating supplements and fish oil capsules. Another set of innovative products, also known as the Core Micronutrients Supports, with the “single source formula” intends to supply adequate levels of
vitamins and minerals for an overall growth and development of the body.
