The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system primarily created by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a fat reduction diet, although many zone diet fans discover that they lose body weight by following the zone diet.
The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you control the amount of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a state of balance that is much more healthy than usual, known as the 'zone'.
Sears believes that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its best and, as a consequence, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat.
The most valuable process of the zone diet is to maintain the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils.
