The Zone Diet

A man named Barry Sears created the fad diet called the Zone diet. It's planned as a permanent diet to be eaten throughout a person's life. Although less restrictive on carbohydrates than the Atkins diet, it is a low carbohydrate diet.

The zone diet relies on a 40 to 30 to 30 balance of calories from carbs, proteins and fats. 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 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. The zone diet also creates a state in which the body stops storing 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.

A typical zone diet meal was described by its creator in the following manner. In every meal eat enough protein to fit in the palm of your hand, as many non-starchy raw vegetables as you can take, just enough carbohydrates to maintain mental clarity, and just enough oils to stop hunger.

This zone diet has a famous weight loss case in its files, that of the man who weighed over 1200 pounds. 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.
