Dr. Barry Sears - Getting Started on the Zone Diet

[ghostsam24]

I discovered the Zone Diet after about two years experimenting with nutrition following a clever little Excel Worksheet I cooked up in a few days trying to find a perfect macronutrient balance. I was shocked when I discovered it was nearly identical to the zone diet. Zone gets it's calories 40% from Carbs 30% from Protein and 30%from Fat. The one I made was 45% Carbs 25% Protein 30% Fat. After knowing that I practically came up with the perfect diet really makes me feel like a genius!

Zone totally works...for athletes, kids, pregnant and nursing ladies...

I prefer "nutritional plan" to "diet" as diet implies it is novel and temporary.

BTW...Atkins died fat.

I used zone diet when I was in competitive swimming.

Nice presentation. Every diet takes consistent effort. There's no diet you can do which will allow you to lose weight, and then quit the diet and not gain the weight back. There are diets, such as this, which can actually be maintained indefinitely.

The Zone Diet works. It is hard to do for a lifetime though, it's easy to keep adding carbs and starches when good proteins aren't available. I'd endorse it though.
