The Zone diet: All the cool kids are doing it
Posted on Nov 5th 2006 8:59AM by Martha EdwardsJennifer Aniston's on it. Rene Zellweger and Charlie Sheen have done it. Have you? It's the Zone, one Hollywood's most well-known diet. Actually, it's no so much a diet as a lifestyle change. Basically, the Zone follows an eating plan that is made up of 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat. That sounds fairly straightforward, but I think once it comes down to measuring every portion of every food of every meal, it could get a bit confusing, not to mention frustrating. Especially for those of us who can't afford to buy pre-made Zone-friendly meals. Also, I understand cutting carbs, but 30% of your daily intake being fat seems a bit high to me. I guess it's okay, though, if you're talking about healthy fats like nuts, olive oil, etc., and not just whipping cream and steak.
Have your tried the Zone? What do or did you think of it. And if you haven't, does it sound like something you could master?
