The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet system first detailed by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight loss diet, although many followers believe that they really seem to lose body weight by following this system. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to gain control of the levels of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts your body in a balanced state which is far more healthy than other diets, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears holds the theory that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, because of this, doesn't build up layers of fat. The main method of the diet is to maintain the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
