The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet primarily created by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight reduction diet, but many zone diet fans discover that they really lose a few pounds by following the zone diet.
The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you were to gain control of the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts your body in a state of balance that is much more wholesome than usual, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears states that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its best and, as a result, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The most valuable procedure of the system is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.
