The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet first advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, but many 'zone dieters' believe that they actually seem to lose body weight by following this system. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can gain control of the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts the body in a state of balance that is much more healthful than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears states that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The most important technique of the zone diet is to maintain the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, leeks and spring onions) The onion and garlic family is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is little definitive proof published, allyl sulfides are also thought by many experts to aid in antiinflammatory effect, high blood pressure and fatigue. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so are ideal for including in your diet. |
