The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight loss diet, nevertheless many followers discover that they manage to lose a few pounds by following it.

Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a result, does not need to build up stores of fat.
