Zone Diet Information

The Zone Diet

Dr Barry Sears created the Zone Diet, some times referred to as the 40-30-30 eating plan (40 percent carbohydrate, 30 percent each fat and protein).

With the Zone Diet you have to carefully balance the nutritional content of each meal. Dr Sears created the Zone Diet based on his experience gained through research into the effects of foods on hormone production and metabolic activity.

His diet aims to ensure optimal health by using foods to manage metabolic activity and hormone production, which will lead to the zone and, not incidentally, weight control.
