It differs somewhat from diets such as the Atkins and GI diets in that certain foods are not strictly proscribed or discouraged, but instead a quota is assigned based on which out of three different groups they fall into, or more accurately which of three “zones” the foods take their calories from. The “Zones” are essentially three different nutritional values, all of which play a part in dieting at some level. The three selected zones are carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

A very common mistake that most people make when going on fast weight loss diets is to eliminate the foods they love out of their diet. While that is an admirable commitment, it is also one of the biggest reason for dieters to binge and ruin their fast weight loss diets.
It is incredibly likely that at least some of your favourite foods are high in fat, and therefore every diet in the land will tell you to forsake them. However, you should always view a diet as a lifestyle change, or you’ll spend your life yo-yoing from one weight to another.
