Zone Diet Snacks
Customized Zone Diet Plans
Zone diet snacks follow the same formula for Zone Diet Blocks as meals do but they just contain less blocks.
Snacks are essential on this diet since your blood sugar levels cannot dip too low in order to remain in the zone. The Zone Diet works on the theory that too much insulin triggers the body to store fat and protect those stores. By sticking to the Zone’s dieting block method, you insure the amount of insulin in your body stays at a level where you burn fat more efficiently and the trigger to store fat is avoided. It uses blocks to regulate the insulin that is produces by your body.
While this all may sound simple, it can actually get pretty complicated when trying to figure out how much protein, carbs and fats you should include in each snack - one tiny miscalculation can throw the whole thing off! If you want to try this diet, but it’s sounds too complex, you might try joining an online program at eDiets where you can get customized Zone Diet Snacks food list as well as menus, shopping lists, recipes, journals, trackers and support.
Since The Zone’s Diet Snack is made up of blocks of protein, carbs and fats, you can use the lists below to cobble together a snack just right for you! Each serving is 1 block, and you need 1 protein, 1 carbohydrate and 1 fat in order to stay in the zone. Mix and match to your liking! Yo can also buy premade bars that are formulated to be in the zone.
