Diet typesThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system initially detailed by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight loss diet, although some people claim that they seem to lose body weight when following it. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to gain control of the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts one's body in a balanced state which is a lot more healthy than usual, which is known as the zone. Sears alleges that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a result, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The main procedure of the zone system is to maintain the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. |
