The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet initially suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, however many 'zone dieters' believe that they really seem to lose a few pounds when following it. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you control the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts the body in a state of balance which is a lot more healthful than normal, which is known as the zone. Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a result, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The main technique of the zone system is to monitor and control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has high levels of Omega 3 fish oils. The brassicas, Super foods that help with Your diet (includes Kale, Bok choy, Turnip greens and Radishes) Altthough not always popular with children, these vegetables are rich in vitamins (folate and vitamin c), minerals (selenium and potassium, for example), fibre, chlorophyll and antioxidents.
