The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet initially created by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a weight loss diet, but many zone diet followers believe that they seem to lose a few pounds by following it.
The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a consequence puts the body in a balanced state that is far more healthful than other diets, which is known as the zone.
Sears claims that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, does not need to convert surplus energy to fat.
The most interesting technique of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.
