The Zone Diet Plan is all about insulin control, about maintaining and keeping insulin level in a tight Zone to help prevent weight gain, assist weight loss and to provide all the optimal health benefits of the Zone Diet Plan.
The Zone Diet Plan meals must contain equal number of blocks of protein, carbohydrate and fat.
To master The Zone Diet one has to understand different food items contain macronutrients (i.e. protein, carbohydrate and fat) in different densities. Total volume of different food on the plate may be very different but the amount of a particular macronutrients may be the same.
One cup of pasta contains the same amount of carbohydrate as12 cups of steam broccoli even though 12 cups of steam broccoli is a huge volume when put on a plate in comparison to 1 cup of pasta as broccoli has lots of fiber and lots of water which does not stimulate insulin production whereas pasta does not.
Likewise, 4 ounces of chicken breast contains the same amount of protein as 12 ounces of tofu (soy bean curd)
With the Zone Diet plan one no longer thinks about grams and calories but only about Zone Food Block.
Zone Food Block concept developed by Dr. Barry Sears compares the quantity of a particular macronutrients (i.e. protein, carbohydrate and fat) in a particular food with the same quantity of macronutrients in another food.
With the Zone Food Block system one only has to remember the sizes of their favorite food in terms of Zone Food Block as the system normalizes the nutrient density between many foods.
Making a perfect Zone Diet meal is easy once we understand the Zone Food Block Concept.
