Principles of The Dr. Barry Sears Zone Diet
The Zone Diet has been around since around 1995, when patented research scientist Dr. Barry Sears published the New York Times bestseller “The Zone”. This book was aimed at other doctors but it was found rather quickly by the general public. Since that time he has authored several other books on the subject and is well known for his work on fish oil, ultra refined (formerly pharmaceutical grade) fish oil, and various fish oil purity issues.. The Zone can perhaps be best described as a state of hormonal balance in the body which can ultimately be achieved by your diet alone. It is principally about keeping key hormone’s in a balanced zone since the wrong amount can often cause weight gain. Hormonal control is a central part of the Zone Diet. In fact, a craving for Carbohydrate’s is really just a byproduct of making bad hormonal choices at your meals. But when you make Zone Diet meals, the real cause of these cravings will be subdued.
Dr. Sears states that current health and medical care for most people mostly focuses on treating their symptoms, as opposed to the maintenance of wellness. Results from the Zone diet generally occur in a short time span since your blood sugar is automatically stabilized. Thus, you feel less hungry and more energized throughout the day.
There are a number of fundamental principles of the Zone Diet, according to Dr. Sears.
First and foremost, be sure that all of your meals leads you to the Zone by eating the right balanced combination of low-fat protein (such as lean chicken or pork), the right type of carbohydrate such as fruits and/or vegetables (starchy carbohydrates such as breads or potatoes are not as good), and a dash of “good” fat (such as olive oil). He says it is a good idea to eat a Zone meal within about an hour of waking up in the morning. It is also good to eat 5 times a day.
And you should not let more than 5 hours go by without a Zone meal, even if you are not hungry. This keeps your blood sugar levels stable. Another important principle is to drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water every day (about a half gallon).
And finally, remember that if you get off of - remove track, do not worry because there is not guilt in the Zone. Just make sure that your next meal is a Zone meal to get you back where you belong.
In the Zone, there are really no foods which are completely off limits. “That means you can eat anything, as long as it has the right balance of protein, carbs, and fat”, says Dr. Sears. Wine is even allowable since it contains a substantial amount of antioxidants.
