Basic Zone Diet Rules

1. Eat a Zone meal or snack within one hour after waking.

2. Eat every 4 to 6 hours after a meal or 2 to 2½ hours after a snack, whether you are hungry or not.

3. Assess your hunger level and mental focus before every meal or snack. Lack of hunger and clarity of mind are signs you are staying in the Zone.

4.Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day.

5. Start every meal or snack with low-fat protein. Next add low glycemic-load carbohydrates (i.e. vegetables and fruits) and good fats (i.e. olive oil). Remember, a typical serving of low-fat protein fits in your palm of your hand and is no thicker than your hand (about 3 ounces for most females and 4 ounces for most males) A typical snack contains 1 ounce of protein for both women and men. At first, a kitchen scale may be helpful for measuring. Don’t worry. You’ll be able to eyeball it in no time.

6. Supplement daily with a highly purified Omega-3 concentrate like OmegaRx®.
7. Don’t beat yourself up for straying here or there. Your next meal or snack can get you right back on track.
