The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime primarily detailed by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, however some people discover that they actually lose body weight by following the zone diet. The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if one can limit the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts the body in a state of balance that is more healthful than other diets, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears claims that if you get into this 'zone', your body is much more efficient and, because of this, does not build up fat. The key technique of the zone system is to maintain the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with plenty of Omega 3 fish oils. The low calorie diet Rather obviously, the low calorie diet states that if you plan to get rid of some fat, it is essential to take in less calories than you need for exercise. The calorie defined? The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. A 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If your meal has higher calories, then it will turn into more energy when your body burns it. Low calorie foods include watercress, radishes, apricots, low fat ham, and low-fat cheese. Flavonoid superfoods (inlcudes garlic, apples, adzuki bean and coriander) The nutrients called 'flavonoids' which exist in these fruits and vegetables are believed to have properties in helping to prevent cancer. Nutritionalists investigating the nutritional effects of flavonoids believe that they could have numerous other health giving capabilities, including, but not limited to, anti-candida and anti-inflammatory capabilities. Many also help you lose weight, so should be included in your weight loss program. |
