The Zone Diet – What is it and Can it Help Me
The Zone Diet works on the principle that 100,000 years ago, we were meat eaters, and our metabolism is designed to handle the demands of a meat-based diet.
Madonna, Demi Moore, and Jennifer Aniston swear by the results of the Zone Diet, which was created by Barry Sears, PhD. The Zone Diet contains 40% carbohydrate, 30% protein, and 30% fat and is known as the 40-30-30 plan.
As the food industry evolved, more carbohydrates have been introduced into our daily diet, thus causing an imbalance in our metabolism to burn fat. The reason for our extra weight can also be attributed to the many grains and starches in our diet (pasta, rice, breads, and potatoes). The Zone Diet’s approach calls for a return to the diets of our ancestors where meat, fruits, and vegetables are the main dietary foods.
The Zone Diet suggests that you need the right ratio of carbohydrates to proteins and fats in order to control the insulin in the bloodstream. Too much of the hormone (insulin) can increase fat storage and inflammation in the body (conditions that are associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease). Sears asserts that by using the Zone Diet, you are actually optimizing the body’s metabolic function. Through the regulation of blood sugar, you allow your body to burn excess body fat.
Although you are not prohibited from any particular food group, it is best to avoid food with high fat and carbohydrates such as grains, starches, and pastas. The ideal sources of carbs are fruits and vegetables and for monounsaturated fats olive oil, almonds, and avocados are recommended. The Zone Diet claims to use food as a drug for overall good health, weight loss and prevention or management of heart disease and diabetes.
Sears says that you can test to see whether you are ‘hormonally’ correct by eating following the Zone diet and see how you feel four hours later. To simplify the Zone Diet, fill one-third of a plate with low-fat protein, and then two-thirds with fruits and vegetables.
Celebrities and some health experts say that the Zone’s recommendations do not stray far from the USDA’s (United States Dietary Association) dietary guidelines and therefore are advocates of the Zone Diet. Others argue that the Zone Diet has flawed ratios but Sears argues that the Zone diet is a low-glycemic-load diet that has adequate protein. .
A critic of the Zone diet such as the AHA (American Heart Association) classifies the Zone Diet as high protein and does not recommend the Zone Diet for weight loss. They contend that the Zone Diet has not been proven effective in the long term for weight loss. The AHA issued an official recommendation warning against diets like the Zone Diet. They believe that the Zone Diet is hazardous as it restricts the intake of essential vitamins and minerals present in certain foods. The AHA also contends that the protein ratio in the Zone diet is too high even if the minimal fat ratio is good. Robert H. Ecker M.D of the A.H.A. finds the Zone Diet’s theory on insulin flawed and argues that there is no scientific proof that the hormone insulin plays a big role in weight regulation.

The Truth about Diet and Weight Loss I want to talk tonight about weight loss. It’s a subject everyone is worried about. And the problem is that diets don’t work. Everybody has tried a diet. I haven’t met a person yet that’s hasn’t tried something, from kids to people in their eighties; everybody has tried some kind of diet and they just don’t work. In recent studies when they looked at a lot of their major diets (some good one’s, Atkins, The Zone), they put them all together statistically and found a ten pound weight loss on average. Now, these people lost a hundred pounds and gained it back of course. But, all that work, all that money, all those videos, for ten pounds of weight loss? So the truth is, we have to find a life style that will allow you to stay at a weight that is healthy for you. That’s a much different way of thinking than all this crash dieting that goes on. What you have to learn is how to take care of yourself; you have to learn the appropriate foods; you have to make better choices. That’s the only way it’s going to work.

@operationcwaI789789 Diets are only useful if you can stick to it and it’s a good one. But the problem is that most people don’t stay on a diet for their whole life. Water is good, but still overrated. Idk about hormone therapy though. Just eat well and exercise. (:
so..eating less wont work….WDF!!
@operationcwaI789789 live and eat like a wild animal. How many FAT wild animals do you see walking around the wilderness. And none of them use “warp platinum”.
of course u have to eat brkfst/lunch/dinner but it is based on what u eat…. and how much u eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this life is so frustrated!!!!!!!!!!!!! u don’t know what to do when to do etc..
Trust me I’m a doctor!
@JxT1957 but i only weight 49 kilos wich by google is 108.026508 pounds, for those who use it, and im very tall…
@JxT1957 i eat every 15 minutes…
i never sleep more than 3.30 hours……. cant sleep more.
of course, I forgot to mention that I also go to the gym & walk or run too which also is a major reason to stay in shape.
I’ve never followed a diet trend. He’s right, I have never done a diet and I have never been overweight & I’m in my 30′s. I grow my own food & raise chickens for my own eggs too. I eat normal real foods at a moderate level. Eat early in the morning, lots of water throughout the day, a VERY strict sleep schedule, a very small dinner & hardly ever eat in the evening.
@operationcwaI789789 it’s okay dude. lol
Great Video
@operationcwaI789789 How about getting off your ass and excercise?
@JxT1957 Studies have been done on meal frequency and it doesn’t change anything as long as total calories are the same.
@lookingtotomorrow buy 1.5 litre-bottles of water. Drink at least one daily. Start any dynamic sport you like ( tennis, soccer, basketball etc) and combine it with working out in a gym. e.g. Also stop eating junk food, but eat any normal food you enjoy, just in smaller portions. Start ENJOYING those changes as your new way of life. Live it in the now or else its pointless.
Take it as your way of life, not just some means to an end.

There are several methods I’m sure. Perhaps some supplements work, most don’t, clinics, trainers, exercise.. blah blah… As someone who has lost weight and kept it off… EAT RIGHT, DRINK WATER CONSTANTLY, GET REST, EXERCISE MORE!!! The inches will fall off, if not, then #1 your eating wrong. Sugars, fats, candy and ice Cream.. FAIL!!!
It’s one thing to live healthy, and another thing to look good. It’s more complicated than that. Even tho he’s right about SOME of the things, he still doesn’t know what the hell is he talking about. Go ask few questions in a bodybuilding forum about metabolism and muscle recovery – you are going to get ROFL’d, cause it’s something that you have to know as a child knows his name.
The Paleo diet is the ONLY diet. My allergies have all but vanished, my health improved, my energy increased, it even brought my hypoglycemia under control. Oh, and during the first year of eating strictly Paleo, I lost 60 pounds. . . without exercising. No effort, my body shed the pounds and one year later I have kept them off.
Being overweight is a consequence of damaging one’s metabolism. Insulin and leptin resistance, plain and simple. To lose weight, get healthy. Starving yourself with less than 1500 calories might make you lose weight, but you ruin your body and will gain it back and then some when you start eating more again. It’s easier and tastier to just learn how to eat to be healthy.
Shakeology is working for me!
“portion control” is key. Check out my abs, i do ab exercise and eat small portion meals every 2 to 3 hours.
this guy is kinda intelligent
