Fat Loss Tips

The zone diet is considered a fad diet created by a biochemist named Barry Sears.  It’s planned as a permanent diet to be eaten throughout a person’s life. The diet relies on balancing hormones, but is still a low carbohydrate diet even if less restrictive than diets like Atkins.

The basis of the zone diet is a ratio of calories from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats all of 40 to 30 to 30. Television studies have concluded that the diet can work. They also concluded that the zone diet can help people gain muscle in addition to losing weight. In addition, people found the zone diet the easiest to maintain of all the low carb diets.

The result of the zone diet and its hormone balance is the body releasing anti-inflammatory chemicals like those found in aspirin, but without side effects.  In addition, claims Sears, the natural anti-inflammatories help with heart health. 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. Later Sears added a Omega three and Omega six fatty acids to the diet, through such supplements as pharmaceutical fish oils.

Sears told people who were on the zone diet to eat a piece of meat that would fit in their palm, just enough carbohydrates to avoid feeling weak, and as much non-starchy vegetables as they could stomach.  

A man who once weighed 1200 pounds attributes amazing weight loss to the zone diet.
