The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime first created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not expressly a fat reduction diet, but some people believe that they actually lose body weight by following it.
The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to gain control of the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts the body in a state of balance that is a lot more healthy than it normally is, which is known as the zone.
Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its best and, as a consequence, doesn't build up layers of fat.
The most interesting technique of the system is to maintain the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.
