Question:
Do calories
matter or not?
Answer:
|
Calories do matter -- but the hormonal effects of those calories
are of even greater importance. Thus, on the Zone diet, it is
recommended that each of your meals consist of no more than 400
calories. The makeup of those calories determines whether
they'll raise or lower your insulin. A high-carb meal can raise
insulin. The balance of protein and carbohydrates is therefore
very important to lowering insulin and keeping the weight off.
The only way to lower excess body fat is to lower insulin
levels. |
