" The Zone Diet is it Right for YOU ? "Diet developed by Dr. Barry Sears is one of many popular diets. Basic concept of this diet is very simple; divide your plate into three same size parts, fill up one part with low fat proteins and other two parts with fruits and vegetables. That is all. The Zone Diet looks good but there is one big problem and the problem is the lack of animal fats. All Zone Diet recipes and meal plans are very low in animal fats. This is not good for us. We need fats for our cells and nervous system. Core of our brain is a pure fat. To be honest Zone Diet menu is not perfect solution for our health. You will lose weight but you will lose muscles as well. Production of hormones in your body will suffer because of lack of essential fatty acids. Fat is a perfect source of energy and it is much better and bio available for our organisms than carbohydrates. Besides in zone diet foods are not really natural. Sweet fruits and starchy vegetables are not the best healthy foods choice.  Example of zone diet meal plan: lean chicken breast, carrots, broccoli, beetroot and apple, strawberries and red grapes. But where is essential fat? There is no fat at all. Healthy diet must provide you with good quantity of animal fats. You can find around the internet many free Zone Diet menu plans but I think that there is no point to do that. So be careful if you want to go for this diet. In fact The Zone Diet developed by Dr. Barry Sears is similar to Paleo Diet made by Loren Cordain (first of them has better marketing of course). These two diets are almost identical and both of them have same big problem - lack of animal fats (saturated fats) and too much of sweet fruits. Healthy Diet must be based on healthy foods and animal fat is one of them. Healthy Foods Quote..."Our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food." Hippocrates |
To Be Vegetarian, or Not to Be?This is one of hottest questions these days. Vegetarianisms is now very popular, many people strongly believe that this is good way to go. But vegetarianism is not encoded in our genes and we will never achieve optimal health and life span if our prime food will come only from plant world. Food history not lying, if there was any possibility to get meat and fat it was always first choice food.There is no point to stop eating of meats and animal fats. Of course we should eat only free range/grass fed and organic meats if possible (better mineral and vitamin content). Red meat, game meat, poultry and fish and any other animal products are rich in minerals, vitamins, coenzymes and proteins. If you want to be healthy and live long and happy life meat should be on your plate at least two times a week. Of course there are some vegetarians in good shape but nothing is better than red meat proteins, coenzymes and minerals. Weston Price while travelling around the world noticed that in areas where meat was quite easily available people were much healthier, bigger and stronger than in other more veggie areas. That is fact from real life, not from laboratory. Healthy MeatOur human evolution and food history started about 7 million years ago and through all these years we were omnivores, plant and meat eaters. In general we can say that our main food was meat (fatty and lean), fish, many greens and roots, some ripe and sour fruits (not those sweet modern fruits loaded with sugars) and insects. Seven million years of meat eating is very long time, we evolved on meat and fats!Food History is the best source of nutrition knowledge |
