Healthy foods with carotenes (includes parsley, mangos and winter squash) These natural foods are rich in carotenes thought by many to play a role in preventing cancer, particularly cancers of the lungs and stomach. Most are also low in calories, so make sure you add them to your weight loss program. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not expressly a weight reduction diet, but many followers discover that they really seem to lose body weight when following it. The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if one can limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a consequence puts the body in a state of equilibrium that is much more healthful than normal, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears believes that when your body is in this 'zone' it is perfectly balanced and, as a result, does not build up layers of fat. The key method of the system is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has large amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
