The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet first advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a weight loss diet, although many zone diet fans discover that they really lose body weight by following this system. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you can control the amount of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a result puts the body in a balanced state which is much more healthful than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears claims that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its best and, as a result, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The main technique of the zone diet is to control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get increased amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
