What is the Zone Diet

The diet to be in the area was made in America by Barry Sears.
The welfare, the absence of disease, optimal health is the metabolic state in which the body and mind work at maximum efficiency (that is to be in the area) The way to enter the area consists of a balanced diet (the Zone diet), in which carbohydrates, proteins and fats are tightly controlled within each meal.

The Zone diet was born as opposed to diets rich in carbohydrates, since they fail to remove the excess body fat, that is because they cause an overproduction of insulin, and the production of bad eicosanoids. Too much insulin results in a decrease of blood sugar (glucose) levels, which is converted into fat and at the same time blocking access to our fat stores, all of which ultimately leads to disease. This is the explanation of why diets high in carbohydrates, they produce feelings of fatigue, each time makes us feel less physical energy and accumulate more and more body fat.

In the Zone Diet have easier access to stored fat reserves (instead of carbohydrates accumulated) as an energy source, which also translates into greater mental focus, not only helps to be more productive, but enhance physical performance.

The Zone diet, it is advisable to make five meals a day, two of which will be light.
Never leave to spend more than 4 or 5 hours between them, since otherwise the fee is triggered insulin and altered levels of blood sugar.
