ZONE DIET
The lure of fast and easy weight loss is as enduring as young love. It is no surprise, then, that high-protein diets like the Zone, Atkins, Protein Power and Sugar Busters have seduced many a problem eater. Alas, there's no hard evidence that these diets deliver on their promise of sustained, long-term weight loss. In fact, the American Heart Association cautions, such regimens may do more damage than good by increasing fat consumption and reducing important sources of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Better to stick with the tried and true: exercise, portion control and a balanced diet. Not very sexy, but it may just work.
