Weight loss
The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system first suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t distinctly a weight reduction diet, nevertheless many people believe that they really seem to lose weight when following it.
The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to limit the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts the body in a state of equilibrium that is a lot more healthful than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone".
Sears alleges that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, as a result, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat.
The most interesting process of the system is to maintain the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6.
