More about the Zone Diet. . .

Zone Science is a whole new way of thinking about food. It’s not about low-fat meals, fat-free carbohydrates, or high-protein regimens with prolonged hunger and deprivation. Moderation is the key. The Zone Diet is a moderate-carbohydrate, moderate-protein, moderate-fat lifestyle plan.

Weight gain and the inability to shed unwanted pounds are far more complex than you could ever imagine. Simple slogans such as “calories in, calories out” or “eat less, exercise more” have little impact on the growing obesity epidemic not only in this country, but throughout the world. Excess weight gain is caused by an inflammatory condition within the fat cell and left uncontrolled makes it increasingly difficult to stop the accumulation of body fat and reduce excess weight.When inflamed fat cells go bad this triggers systemic inflammation throughout the body increasing numerous health risks related to heart, brain and immune function Calorie restriction or increased exercise is forever doomed to failure unless you first control inflammation within the fat cell.

The foods you eat are the key to your success for controlling the balance of the three hormones that regulate Silent Inflammation and weight loss. The levels of these hormones dramatically increase as you age and must be normalized to help control this delicate hormonal balance within a Zone.

Controlling inflammation in the fat cell requires an understanding of how three inter-related hormonal systems dictate excess weight gain and the ability to successfully reduce body fat. It’s not about calories; it's about hormonal balance within a Zone that makes weight loss a reality without hunger or deprivation. No drug can reverse this inflammatory condition, only the foods you eat!

These three hormones are Insulin, Cortisol, and Eicosanoids. Every meal and snack determines this balance, good or bad, for the next 4-6 hours each and everyday. Not only can you reduce excess body fat without hunger and fatigue, but you will also reduce Silent Inflammation levels throughout the body that dramatically affect your quality of life today and many years in the future.
