The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a weight loss regime first created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not distinctly a fat reduction diet, however some people claim that they really reduce body weight by following this system. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you can limit the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which puts one's body in a state of balance which is more wholesome than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears claims that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, as a result, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The most interesting technique of the diet is to keep tight control over the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
