The Zone Diet
The Zone Diet is not complicated, and it will absolutely change your life. The key is moderating insulin levels through a diet designed to keep them within a certain zone. As a result, you'll feel less hungry and more energized. Plus, you'll be losing excess body fat — up to 10 pounds in five weeks!

Plus, eating out strategies,from fast food to fine dining.
Zone Diet Rules to Remember
1. Make sure every meal and snack has the right combination of low-fat protein, favorable carbohydrates (like vegetables and fruit), and a dash of "good" fat.
2. Always eat a Zone meal within one hour of waking.
3. Eat at least five times a day: three Zone meals and two Zone snacks.
4. Never let more than five hours go by without eating a Zone meal or snack, even if you're not hungry.
5. Use fruits and vegetables for the bulk of your carbohydrate calories - with bread, pasta, grains, and other starches used primarily as condiments.
6. Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day.
7. If you make a mistake, don't worry. Just get back on track with your next meal.
