The
Zone Diet Plan
The
Zone is achieved when each meal is composed of 40% carbohydrates, 30%
proteins and 30% fat. This might sound complicated but it is
actually pretty easy when you follow the Zone
Food Block System. With this system different foods are
assigned a food block value. For example a block of protein is
equal to 7 grams, which is about 1 ounce of low-fat cheese. Your
gender, activity level and current percentage of body fat will determine
your daily food block requirements. The average woman needs 11
food blocks a day. So this means you would have 3 meals made of 3
food blocks each and 2 snacks made of 1 food block each, to equal 11
food blocks for the day.
