The first step of Zone Diet is to calculate your body fat and determine your protein prescription.  Here we will show you how to do it

Calculate Your Body Fat and Your Protein Prescription

If you want to reap the rewards of Zone lifestyle permanently, you have to make a radical change in the way you think about food. Food is far more important than just something you eat for pleasure or to appease your hunger. Rather, it is a potent drug that you'll take at least three times a day for the rest of your life. 

Every meal and every snack you eat should have the desired balance of macronutrients - protein, carbohydrates, and fats -that produce an appropriate and favorable hormonal response, especially in terms of glucagon, insulin and eicosanoids.  These hormones will have an impact on your weight and health.

The most important step in building a Zone-favorable diet is to learn your daily protein requirement. You can use the on-line body fat and food block calculator by ZonePerfect Nutritional Analysis Center to calculate  your body fat and your unique protein and zone block requirements. Just follow the instructions below. It takes just a minute or two...then you're on your way to optimal health!

Instructions For Women

There are four simple steps to calculate your percentage of body fat, lean body mass, protein requirements, and zone block requirements.

Step 1:
 While keeping the tape measure level, measure your hips at their widest point, and your abdomen at the umbilicus (i.e., belly button). It is critical that you measure at the belly button and not at the narrowest point of your abdomen. Take each of these measurements three times and compute the average.

Step 2:
 Measure your weight in pounds.

Step 3:
 Measure your height in inches without shoes.

Step 4:
 Enter your height, abdomen, and hip measurements on ZonePerfect on-line body fat and food block calculator.
