The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially devised by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless some people claim that they really seem to lose weight by following this system.
The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you were to limit the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts one's body in a balanced state which is a lot more wholesome than it normally is, known as the 'zone'.
Sears claims that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its best and, as a result, does not build up layers of fat.
The most valuable process of the system is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.
