The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program initially invented by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not specifically a weight loss diet, although many zone diet followers believe that they reduce weight by following the zone diet. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a state of equilibrium which is much, much more healthful than other diets, which is known as the zone. Sears states that when your body is in this 'zone' it is perfectly balanced and, as a consequence, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The key technique of the system is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils. Wonder foods with carotenes (includes carrots, mangos and tomato puree) These amazing foods are rich in carotenes (alpha and beta) thought by doctors play a key role in helping prevent cancer, particularly of the lung, esophagus and stomach. A good number are also low in calories, so are ideal for including in your weight loss regime. |
