“The Zone Diet” was created by Dr. Barry Sears. This diet is based around controlling the insulin in your body which in turn controls the inflammation of the fat cells in the body. One of the methods Dr. Sears uses to control the insulin in the body is Omega - 3 fatty acids. Fatty acids help keep the fat cells from inflammation. This method of Dr. Sears is the 40, 30, 30 ratio. This ratio consists of 40% carbohydrates, 30% fat, and 30% protein, which is supposed to control the body’s insulin. The reason behind the insulin is this is what controls your hunger. For this reason this diet is perfect for people with heart disease and Type II diabetes. An additional ratio to keep in mind is calorie consumption. Dr. Sears suggests that you should have a meal that does not exceed 500 calories and a snack that does not exceed 100 calories. Dr. Sears wants you to think of this as a lifestyle not a diet.
