The Zone Diet
The Zone Diet attempts to lower inflammation and stabilize insulin levels, focusing on antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. Biochemist Barry Sears developed the plan to help people lose weight and reduce “dietary inflammation.”
On the Zone, people divide their daily meals into one-third protein, two-thirds carbohydrates, and a small amount of fat. Starches and grains are recommended as side dishes rather than main courses. Beyond one 2015 study, there isn’t much research to support the Zone Diet reducing inflammation. However, its emphasis on unprocessed, whole foods is promising.
