Diet Tea Concentrate Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Weight loss dietsThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system first invented by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a fat reduction diet, but many followers claim that they actually manage to lose body weight by following it. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you manage to gain control of the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts one's body in a balanced state which is an awful lot more healthy than normal, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a consequence, does not need to convert surplus energy to fat. The most important technique of the zone diet is to control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. |
