Major Dietary Points

Dr. Barry Sears deals with some of the objections and criticisms leveled at the Zone diet:

Fat makes you fat.
According to Sears, this is possible only in the presence of an elevated insulin level, brought on by excessive carbohydrates.

The goal of exercise is to burn calories, which in turn burns fat.
Insulin plays an infinitely bigger role. The calories burnt in most forms of aerobic exercise are regained with just one or two bran muffins. Even if you run a whole marathon, you only consume 2,000 calories - an amount stored in an average adult's body in carbohydrates alone.

You can lose weight by restricting calories -- you only need willpower!
According to Sears, this is true – people do not always lose extra fat when they eat less. A low-calorie, high-carbohydrate diet may actually work against the dieter: it generates a series of biochemical signals that make it more difficult to access stored body fat for energy. As a result a weight-loss plateau is reached. The most destructive aspect of this myth is that dieters often get tired of feeling hungry and deprived, so they go off the diet, put back mostly increased body fat , and then blame themselves for not having sufficient will power, discipline, or motivation.

Starches are better for you than sugars
Whether simple or complex, carbohydrates have the same caloric value. Both raise blood triglyceride levels, both raise insulin. Both tell the body: store more fat now!

Sugars affect your hormones faster and more radically than starches.
The exact opposite is true, according to Sears. The entry rate of a carbohydrate into the bloodstream is known as its glycemic index. The lower the glycemic index, the slower the rate of absorption. In fact , refined table sugar has a lower glycemic index than most breakfast cereals. A food which is basic to many weight-reduction programs, puffed rice cakes, has one of the highest glycemic indices – even higher than ice cream.

Juicing is a better way to ingest nutrients.
Sears claims that juicing increases carbohydrate density, and removes fiber from the carbohydrate. As a result, carbohydrates enter the bloodstream too fast.

Higher protein means more animal.
Not necessarily. Soy is a suitable substitute for animal protein sources.
