Exploring the Science Behind the Zone Diet

The video discusses the Zone diet, created by Barry Sears, which involves dividing your plate into specific zones to optimize hormonal balance for weight loss. The diet emphasizes a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, particularly Omega-3s, to produce anti-inflammatory effects and regulate insulin levels. This approach, known as the fat paradox, suggests that consuming healthy fats can aid in fat loss. The Zone diet is shown to be effective for weight loss and is recommended for individuals with type 2 diabetes.
