Zone Nutrition  Welcome to Zone Nutrition: An eating plan proven to increase energy, speed fat loss and improve your health. We specialise in teaching the principles of the Zone diet; a balanced, healthy, low glycemic (blood sugar) load eating plan developed for people with heart disease, and used by everyone including elite athletes, medical doctors and ordinary people, including Manuel Uribe, in order to improve health, maximise fat loss, and increase physical performance. We at Zone Diet New Zealand are dedicated to ensuring your success on the Zone Diet. We provide education and support to make sure you succeed where you may have failed in the past.   Will the Zone Diet work for you?   Dr Barry Sears, the biochemist who designed the The Zone Diet researched the effect that food has on powerful hormones that affect fat storage, fat loss and health. He also looked at our genetic heritage and how we can eat to best support our bodies design. He found our diet today is far removed from the diets of our hunter and gatherer ancestors which was in line with our genes. You wouldn't feed a lion grains, nor would you feed a rabbit meat. Yet today humans eat foods that were foreign to us 10,000 years ago in a balance that is incorrect for our metabolism. Consequently our health is suffering; we lack energy, we can't lose weight, we suffer from numerous health problems. The Zone diet is eating real food - protein, carbohydrates and fat in a balance and quality that gives us back our health, energy and helps us burn fat. I am stunned by the fast improvement in many people's niggling health problems when they switch to this way of eating. Here is a selection of health benefits that are typically reported by our clients:  Increased energy - especially during the afternoon, feel more alert Weight loss without hunger or cravings (no more sugar cravings!) Control of reactive hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) An increase in mental focus, no more foggy thinking Quicker recovery after exercise Decrease in pain and inflammation e.g. with arthritis, headaches Decrease or elimination of Premenstrual Syndrome and Menstrual Pain A decrease in symptoms of depression and stress Reduced and improved cholesterol Improved digestion - reduction in IBS, constipation, indigestion and other gut issues Improved blood sugar in diabetes Fat loss - especially around the middle   We have found that many people, after switching from a conventional diet to the Zone Diet experience an improvement of many of these problems in just a few days.

Otago University carried out a year long study comparing three diets; Atkins, Zone and the Conventional high carbohydrate diet. After 12 months those following the Zone Diet had maintained a greater weight loss than those on the other two diets. The study also concluded that the Zone diet “may be the best overall approach to reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes”. Those on the Zone diet also seemed to enjoy it better.   It’s great to see local research again confirming the effectiveness of the Zone diet.   http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=3605474   New Zealand Herald, 30th October 2005	Check out my new blog: Julianne's Paleo and Zone Nutrition Blog Updated daily with anything I find interesting in Nutrition or Health Manuel Uribe Documentary Prime TV shows the story of Manuel Uribe, the world's heaviest man is his bid to lose weight using the Zone Diet.
