Any new thoughts on the Zone Diet?

[LakeMartinGal]

I did my due diligence, and read the previous threads about the Zone Diet, pro and con.;) But someone's doctor recommended it to them, and they've lost 50 or so pounds on it...

Any new thoughts?

The zone is higher protein.
For most of us, as we gain weight, get older, or have bad genes, our ability to process carbs gets harder and harder (blood sugars go up high before they come down and stay up longer).
Insulin stores fat and removes glucose, so higher protein and less carby foods helps limit how much/often you store fat.
