subject: The Top 3 Diets - Atkins - Zone and the GI Diet Plan [print this page] The Zone diet plan helps dieters aim for nutritional balance of 40% carbohydrates, 30% fats, and 30% protein at each meal. The focus is also on controlling insulin levels, just like the two diets mentioned above.
The Zone Diet plan requires fairly specific combinations of foods in order to keep the 40/30/30 balance going, and to keep the insulin levels stable. This can make the diet plan more difficult for some people to follow.
As you can see, all three of these diet plans focus on avoiding simple carbohydrates, because these raise blood sugar levels, which in turn raise insulin levels, causing the body to store fat.
Regardless of which of these popular diet plans you choose, you can see that minimizing "bad" carbohydrates like sugar, white flour and starchy vegetables and fruits is one of the most important aspects of losing weight and keeping it off.
