Diet informationThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system first created by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet is not particularly a fat reduction diet, however many people believe that they really reduce body weight by following it. The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to limit the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts the body in a state of equilibrium that is much more wholesome than other diets, which is known as the zone. Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its best and, because of this, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The key procedure of the zone diet is to control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
