You might have thought of attempting the zone diet when reading about it but can it actually aid in weight loss? This brief article gives some details regarding the diet to let you determine yourself.

The zone diet is so highly popular that even wellknown individuals including Charlie Sheen, Renee Zellweger, and Tiger Woods were said to have tried it.

It's interesting to note that the famous people above aren't really overweight. Advocates of the zone diet state that the reason is because the diet is just not merely about losing weight, but about leading healthier lifestyles, too.

Essentially, the zone diet recommends an intake of carbohydrates, protein, and fat in the following ratio: 40% / 30% / 30%. Obviously, this is a low carbohydrate diet. As you may be aware, low carb (or carb-free) diets are quite popular. However, the zone diet is not as restrictive as many other low carb diets such as the Atkins diet.

Nevertheless, the American Heart Foundation along with a number of dieticians don't recommend the zone diet due to its high protein intake. They say that the diet lacks scientific research to support its claims.

Since the zone diet consists of a high meat diet, a Soy Zone diet is also available for vegetarians. This diet uses a soy base for its source of protein.

It's normal for dieters following fad diets to gain back the weight. Their bodies won't be able to handle decreased amounts of carbohydrates as suggested by the zone diet. Once they go back to their regular eating habits, they can end up gaining more weight than when they started dieting.

Many people swear that the zone diet worked for them. So it's best to see your physician to find out if the diet might work for you, as well.
