The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet first created by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a weight loss diet, but many people claim that they reduce weight by following the zone diet. The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts one's body in a state of equilibrium which is much, much more healthy than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, because of this, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The main procedure of the diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils. Foods containing lycopene (includes grapefruit, papaya & tomato) The nutrient lypcopene is a simple chemical compound and a member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is the reason for the red colour of some natural foods. Unlike most other nutrients, this useful phytochemical does not become less effective if cooked but is truly strengthened by being heated. . Lycoprene's main theraputic value is that it acts as an antioxidant and is believed to help lower the probabilty of contracting cancer. It is the most potent fighter of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It is also thought by many experts to curtail the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. |
