Types of dietThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system initially devised by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, but many people believe that they actually reduce body weight by following it. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts the body in a balanced state that is much, much more wholesome than other diets, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears believes that if you get into this 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, because of this, does not need to convert surplus energy to fat. The most important process of the system is to monitor and control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has high levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
