The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, however some people believe that they seem to lose a few pounds by following the zone diet. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you can limit the amount of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts your body in a balanced state which is an awful lot more wholesome than usual, known as the 'zone'. Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its best and, as a result, doesn't build up fat. The main method of the zone system is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with large amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
