The Zone Diet
Book: The Zone
Book: Mastering the Zone
Author: Barry Sears, Ph.D.
Web site: The Zone
This program is a lifelong weight-loss plan based on the reasoning that eating the appropriate balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat would induce the body to produce ideal levels of insulin. According to the Zone Diet, people utilizing this program to maintain insulin levels in a therapeutic zone could avoid the most common effects of too much insulin -- constant weight gain and low energy levels.
The follow-up book, Mastering The Zone, expands on that theory and offers recipes to give readers guidance in putting his principles into practice.

Dr. Peter D'Adamo believes that your blood type determines which foods are best for your diet. One stage of this diet takes the high-protein route.
- Type O: Since this is the "original" blood type, eat a high-protein diet with lots of meat, because that was the primary diet of prehistoric hunter-gatherers.
- Type A: Eat a vegetarian diet, because this blood type developed in agrarian communities.
- Type B: Balance of meat and grains.
- Type AB: Can be the most varied diet, because this type developed most recently.
