The Plan
An exact meal plan based upon each
person's gender, activity level,
and current percentage of body fat
is designed to include 40 percent
of its calories from carbohydrates,
30 from protein and 30 from fat.
All meals and snacks follow this
40-30-30 distribution ratio, causing
the body to work within its peak
performance "zone" for
maximum energy and weight loss.
Pros
You will lose weight on this diet
due to the very low calorie intake
while you enjoy foods high in protein
such as roast beef and steaks. Specific
meal plans are available to guide
you.
Cons
The diet is very low in carbohydrates,
which can quickly sap your energy
levels. It's also low in fiber and
some vitamins and minerals due to
the drastic reduction of foods such
as pasta, potatoes, and bread. Figuring
out how to make each and every meal
and snack follow the 40-30-30 ratio
can be daunting.
