The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime first invented by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, however many zone diet followers believe that they actually seem to lose weight by following the zone diet. The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to control the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a state of equilibrium that is an awful lot more healthy than it normally is, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, because of this, doesn't build up layers of fat. The most valuable technique of the diet is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. Wonder foods with carotenes (includes parsley, mangos and tomato puree) These orange and green vegetables and fruits are rich in alpha-carotene and beta-carotene thought to play a major part in helping prevent cancer, particularly those cancers involving the esophagus. A good number also help you lose weight, so should be included in every weight loss program. |
