Weight loss
The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime primarily suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet is not distinctly a fat reduction diet, but many people find that they manage to lose body weight by following the zone diet.
The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to gain control of the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts one's body in a state of equilibrium that is far more healthy than other diets, which is known as the zone.
Sears holds the theory that when your body is in this 'zone' it is perfectly balanced and, because of this, does not build up layers of fat.
The key method of the diet is to maintain the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get increased amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.
