The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet first invented by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not distinctly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many zone diet followers claim that they actually manage to lose weight by following it.
The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one were to gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts the body in a balanced state which is far more healthful than it normally is, known as the 'zone'.
Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, because of this, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The most valuable process of the diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.
