101 Zone Recipes

In 1995, HarperCollins published a diet book entitled The Zone: A Dietary Road Map by Dr. Barry Sears. Dr. Sears is a former researcher in biotechnology at Massachusetts Institutes of Technology. 


The diet is based upon five principles, which are: 


1. Following the diet

2. Omega-3 fish oil intake

3. The importance of polyphenols

4. Fitness, and 

5. Targeted supplements. 


While the diet is intended to help you shed weight, it more importantly purports to help the body burn fat more efficiently. The purpose of the diet is also about improving overall long term health. 


The diet emphasizes eating low-fat proteins (like chicken breast or skinless turkey breast, egg whites, most seafood, mushrooms, and soy products), low glycemic carbs, and healthy unsaturated fats. 


The diet is based upon a 30/30/40 formula. Every meal and snack is supposed to be proportioned to contain 30% protein, 30% fat and 40% carbohydrates. As far as fitness, Dr. Sears recommends 30 minutes of fitness six times a week for overall cardiovascular health.
