The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program first advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not expressly a fat reduction diet, however many followers believe that they really seem to lose weight by following it.
The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you control the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a consequence puts one's body in a state of equilibrium that is an awful lot more healthy than it normally is, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone".
Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its best and, as a result, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat.
The most valuable technique of the diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.
