The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system primarily advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a fat reduction diet, but some people discover that they manage to lose weight when following it.
The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if one were to gain control of the secretion of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts the body in a balanced state which is an awful lot more healthy than usual, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your body is much more efficient and, as a consequence, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The main method of the diet is to monitor and control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.
