The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet first advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight loss diet, although many 'zone dieters' discover that they actually seem to lose weight by following this system.
The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you were to limit the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts one's body in a state of balance that is more wholesome than other diets, 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, as a consequence, does not build up layers of fat.
The key method of the system is to control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has high levels of Omega 3 fish oils.
