The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program first suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet is not specifically a weight reduction diet, although many 'zone dieters' find that they really reduce weight by following the zone diet.
The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you were to control the levels of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which puts the body in a balanced state that is far more healthful than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears claims that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, as a result, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The main technique of the system is to maintain the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.
