The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet first detailed by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet is not exactly a weight reduction diet, but many 'zone dieters' claim that they manage to lose a few pounds by following it. The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one can limit the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts your body in a balanced state that is much more wholesome than usual, known as the 'zone'. Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, because of this, does not build up fat. The most interesting procedure of the zone diet is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has large amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. Brassicas, Superfoods that aid Weight loss (examples: Broccoli, Lettuce, Mustard greens and Chinese cabbage) Known as cruciferous vegetables, these are full of vitamins (folate and vitamin c, for example), minerals (eg. potassium and selenium), isothiocyanates, antioxidents and indole-3-carbinol. In addition to their many other health benefits, the minerals and nutrients in these are thought to help reduce the cancer risk in those prone to it.. |
