Zone diet is the latest nutrition strategy that promises to improve  health, weight and athletic performance with correct ratio of carbohydrate to protein to fat intake. The  basis for Zone Diet  follows a formula of 40% carbs , 30% protein and 30% fats created by Barry Sears PhD. According to Dr Sears, this dietary regimen results in a greater delivery of oxygen to the working muscles, a condition known as "The Zone", where athletes perform better, mental focus is enhanced, and life is generally a better place
