The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program initially suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not exactly a weight reduction diet, however many zone diet followers believe that they really manage to lose a few pounds by following it.
The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts one's body in a balanced state which is much more healthful than usual, which is known as the zone.
Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is perfectly balanced and, as a result, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat.
The main method of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 3 fish oils.
