The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet initially advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, however many zone diet fans claim that they lose body weight when following it.
The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if you were to limit the amount of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts the body in a balanced state which is far more wholesome than usual, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears believes that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, because of this, does not build up fat.
The main process of the diet is to control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has large amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.
