The zone diet was developed by biochemist Barry Sears and advocates a balance of carbohydrates to protein to fat of 40/30/30.  The theory is that when food consumed in a balanced of 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat, the body is in it’s maximum fat burning state, better known as the Zone.  The hormonal balance that is produced by 40/30/30 “Zone” causes maximum weight loss.

Benefit:  The combination of carbs to protein to fat is easier to maintain than many popular diets without leaving you weak like the Atkins Diet. It encourages the consumption of healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains and meats. Many people have reported losing weight on the Zone diet.

Our Evaluation: The Zone is better than most popular diets but still is a low calorie diet that will cause your metabolism to slow down over time. The 40/30/30 carb to protein to fat ratio will work for most people but may not be as efficient for people who are more carb sensitive.
