The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system initially suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, but many zone diet fans believe that they actually manage to lose weight when following it.
The science behind the Zone Diet is that if you were to limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts your body in a state of balance which is a lot more wholesome than it normally is, known as the 'zone'.
Sears holds the theory that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, as a consequence, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The key process of the system is to control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils.
