Types of dietThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system initially created by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not expressly a weight reduction diet, although many zone diet fans discover that they really seem to lose a few pounds by following it. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to limit the amount of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts your body in a state of balance which is a lot more wholesome than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears alleges that when your body is in this 'zone' it is perfectly balanced and, because of this, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The main method of the zone diet is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
