How Do Zone Diet Snacks Work?
Since a low blood sugar level would take you out the zone, the role of the Zone Diet snacks is to keep your glycemic index within certain values. The main principle of the Zone Diet is that fat deposits form when an excess of insulin is found in your body. Thus, the goal of the diet is to make sure that the existent amount of insulin promotes efficient fat burn and prevents fat deposits from forming. Zone Diet snacks are based on precisely designated blocks of fats, carbohydrates, and protein. It may be difficult to calculate the amounts of nutrients from each snack, and more than that, miscalculations are able to destroy the entire balance. Composition of the Zone Diet Snacks Each serving includes 1 block, and you are required 1 carbohydrate, 1 fat, and 1 protein to remain in the zone. As long as this indication is respected, you can create Zone Diet meals. Examples of blocks are presented below: Carbohydrate • 1/2 Orange or grapefruit, or apple, or pear • 1/2 Cup grapes • 8 Cherries
