40/30/30 is a typical starting point. Some people do need to adjust that ratio, depending on how they react. Your protein always remains constant, but the fats and/or carbs may need tweaking. Dr. Sears always has an area in his books called "Adjusting Your Hormonal Carburetor" which talks about why and how to do it.

Atkins and Zone are 2 different diets. Many of Dr. Sears critics call the Zone a low carb diet but this isn't so. They have just never read his book.

Some also call it a high protein diet which is just as wrong!  |
