Disadvantages/Adverse Response

It’s claim to improve performance is not supported by scientific
evidence. A “low carb” diet for endurance/strength athletes is not
ideal.

The Zone diet makes a lot of health claims, but there is not enough
significant evidence to support them. People may end up restricting
foods high in fiber, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium adhering to the
30-40-30 macro ratio and food list.
