The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet primarily suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t distinctly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many zone diet fans believe that they reduce a few pounds by following it.
The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts one's body in a state of equilibrium which is far more wholesome than usual, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone".
Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its best and, because of this, does not build up fat.
The main procedure of the zone system is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils.
