The Zone is a balanced anti-inflammatory diet with a strong emphasis on hormonal regulation of the body, from controlling blood sugar levels to basic survival mechanisms involving stress, fear and emotions. Body weight, anti-ageing, physical abilities and, even, people’s mood depends on hormones, which are regulated by diet. The nutrient zone is the physiological state of the body, where hormones through “food and molecularly distilled omega-3s” harmonize to heal “inflammation” resulting in mental-spiritual-physical health. This diet is based on a balance between low-fat proteins and low-glycemic carbohydrates with 40% of calories from macronutrients coming from carbohydrates, 30% from protein and 30% from fat. Although some comparisons have been made between the Zone diet and other diets in terms of weight loss, no similar studies have been carried out on their health and work effects, as well as on the Zone Diet in adults with a higher BMI. This PhD thesis examines the impact of the Nutrition Zone on physical and mental health, physical activity and work performance.It further investigates the role of demographic and somatometric data in improving physical, mental health and work performance. This thesis will attempt to examine the effect of the Nutritional Zone on physical and mental health, sleep duration, physical activity and work performance, stress and work attendance. In addition, the role of demographic and somatometric data in improving physical and mental health, sleep duration, work performance, stress and the appearance of employees is investigated.
