The Zone Diet And Barry Sears
The Zone diet was originally created by a scientist named Barry Sears. It's planned as a permanent diet to be eaten throughout a person's life. It is considered a low carbohydrate diet, however is more based on balancing hormones and therefore does not restrict carbohydrates as much as other low carbohydrate diets such as the Atkins diet.
The zone diet relies on a 40 to 30 to 30 balance of calories from carbs, proteins and fats. A few nonscientific studies performed for television showed the diet can be effective. In fact, many of these nonscientific studies show that people gain muscle mass while losing weight on the zone diet. In addition, people found the zone diet the easiest to maintain of all the low carb diets.
The zone diet creates a perfect balance of insulin and glucagen which causes the body to release chemicals similar in effect to those found in aspirin. Sears also said the diet would help make the heart healthier. Another benefit of the zone diet is that once the human body is in this hormonal balance it becomes more efficient and stops storing excess calories as fat. Thus, with no fat stored, and with stored fat used as energy, the body loses weight. Various supplements were later added to the diet to deliver certain beneficial fatty acids.
The zone diet calls for the following a hand full sized piece of meat, as many vegetables as you can eat, and just enough carbs to maintain mental clarity.
A man who once weighed 1200 pounds attributes amazing weight loss to the zone diet. He had tried every diet and even liposuction, but after 24 months on the zone diet he lost about 400 pounds. The man's current diet consists of 2000 calories broken up into six meals per day. It includes egg white omelets, fresh salads, chicken, fish, and other healthy foods mandated by the zone diet.
