The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially invented by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many zone diet fans believe that they seem to lose body weight by following the zone diet.
The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you limit the secretion of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts one's body in a state of equilibrium that is much more healthy than usual, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears holds the theory that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, as a result, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat.
The main procedure of the zone diet is to maintain the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils.
