Diet typesThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system primarily suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many 'zone dieters' discover that they reduce a few pounds when following it. The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to limit the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts one's body in a state of balance that is more healthy than other diets, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, because of this, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The key technique of the zone system is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has plenty of Omega 3 fish oils. |
