The
concept behind the Zone diet is that our DNA has changed very little since our
pre-historic ancestors. For thousands of years we existed on lean protein and
natural carbohydrates (fruit and vegetables). The introduction of grain into our
diet is a later addition occurring approximately 8,000 years ago. Although
man has been a farmer for over 8,000 years, grain is still an unnatural product
for our bodies. Our bodies still require the basic food groups of the pre-historic
man. Barry Sears,
the inventor of the Zone diet concludes that as far as our genes are concerned
we are still meat gathers who require lean protein and natural carbohydrates.
So there goes the pasta, bread, and grains. Because we have not evolved to the
point where our bodies can adequately and efficiently absorb these excessive amounts
of high carbs, our bodies tend to react negatively to their input. The
result is we gain excess weight, suffer from diabetes, heart disease and a host
of other ills, feel sluggish, and generally perform at a sub-par level. The Zone
Diet is designed to feed our natural genetic makeup. It gives us the fuel we need,
when we need it. There
are several excellent source that can get you on track with the Zone Diet. We
