How does the Zone classification system work?

Each food receives a score based on its nutritional density and its effect on hormonal response. This book details the 100 highest-scoring foods, offering a quick reference for planning meals within the Zone Diet. The classification is based on scientific criteria that evaluate the macronutrient proportion and the quality of fatty acids, thus providing a reliable guide for those following this nutritional approach. The scoring system allows for objective comparison of foods, facilitating the choice of options that promote hormonal balance according to the Zone method.
