Thank you very much for this presentation. Having studied your vital work published as Enter the zone several years ago, is it safe to continue eating according to the 3:3:4 ratio considering that you have reduced the fat intake to less than half of protein ratio?
40/30/30 refers to the percentage of calories in a Zone meal. However, it is often easier to think of a Zone meal consisting of 30 grams of protein, 40 grams of low-glycemic carbs, and 15 grams of fat. Such a meal contains 415 calories, but maintains satiety for five hours. Using Zone Foods™ makes it easier to do that on lifetime basis.
Just want to thank you for your work Dr. Sears.🙏. 25 years ago I lost 20 lbs on your diet and never felt or looked better.. I eventually strayed because of extra long work hours and no time to prepare meals... I am now 72 and wondering if you still advise against drinking caffein( green tea ) and should I bump up my protein intake to 30 grams a meal as well ? @@drbarrysears I was in my 40's back then and found success with the 11 block zone..Should I now be doing 13 blocks a day? Can I buy your supplements in Canada?
The mitochondria work a lot like our cars. If they are tuned with the right nutrients, they produce maximum energy, minimum oxidative stress and the body's antioxidant enzymes mop up the energy production oxidants quite easily. However, when the body is depleted in key mitochondrial nutrients the effects are generally similar to your car when you remove one or two spark plugs. You get less energy out per unit fuel, but a whole lot more 'exhaust,' or oxidative stress. Inflammation is a response to oxidative stress! It is not the problem, rather, it is the countermeasure to the problem! What mitochondrial nutrients are missing? Magnesium and copper are two critical one. Mg-ATP is the true energy currency of the cell, not ATP alone, which is a cellular doorstop without that magnesium ion attached. Copper activates cytochrome c oxidase to split oxygen to produce ADP (and water), which is a prerequisite for producing Mg-ATP. How does copper get from your mouth to your mitochondria? It only makes the trip when it is first complexed into ceruloplasmin, which is both its carrier protein and an enzyme that uses copper as a cofactor. The enzyme ATP7B loads copper into ceruloplasmin, and it depends on magnesium, retinoic acid, and copper being available in the diet. Look on a nutrition label and try to find magnesium and copper on it. Look at fertilizer and try to find magnesium and copper in it! Then there is the oxidative stress / inflammation inducing metallic iron filings added to the food supply in 1941 under the guise of fortification. A quick review of the research (just ask Chat GPT!) reveals that high levels of iron stuck in the tissues due to ferroxidase depletion drives anemia! What is ferroxidase? It is the name for ceruloplasmin-bound copper when it is engaged in oxidizing reactive iron into a non-reactive state so that transferrin can transport the ferric iron back to the bone marrow to make more blood cells with it. Otherwise, it just gets stuck in the tissues.. in the macrophages... and iron laden macrophages are not your friend, they will not function well, and they just might deposit oxidative stress inducing iron in places where you really don't want it. I'm a big fan of Dr. Sears and the information he shares. I follow a copper rich, magnesium rich, retinol rich Zone Diet, coupled with some intermittent keto therapy to facilitate autophagy of what I think are persistent 'zombie cells.'
Search RUclips for videos with Morley Robbins, Dr. Chris Palmer, and Dr. Thomas Seyfried to learn more about the causes and effects of mitochondrial denutrification and toxification.
well said...its nice to see copper, retinol and magnesium get their rightful credit...retinol from clo and retinoic acid from sunlight exposure are really important...🌔😎🌖
Yes nice to see Morley Robbins mentioned here. You will will probably like Metabolic Typing. What they focus on which Morley overlooks is the EFFICIENCY of each of two biochem pathways to making cellular energy (ATP), the oil (ketones) and glucose (sugar) pathways. Usually one of these is hyper and the other is hypo. MetType uses food to moderate the hyper pathways and stimulate the hypo pathway. No good book or website on this I know of. I learned it thru reading all the Metabolic Typing books. I recommend the Rasmussen book (2011) and "The Nutrition Solution," by Harold J. Kristol (2003). They are basing healthcare on metabolic patterns. Morley is relevant but not yet as radical (at the roots) as MetType.

Doctor gracias ! saludos Gdl Mex
Thank you very much for this presentation.
Having studied your vital work published as Enter the zone several years ago, is it safe to continue eating according to the 3:3:4 ratio considering that you have reduced the fat intake to less than half of protein ratio?
So is it OK to still be eating a ration of 40/30/30 carbs to protein to fat as per the original Zone diet??
Would also be my question.
40/30/30 refers to the percentage of calories in a Zone meal. However, it is often easier to think of a Zone meal consisting of 30 grams of protein, 40 grams of low-glycemic carbs, and 15 grams of fat.

Would this be good amount for a women who wants to lose weight?@@drbarrysears
