Dieting 101

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program primarily created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t distinctly a fat reduction diet, however some people find that they actually seem to lose a few pounds by following this system.
The science behind the Zone Diet is that if you were to control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts the body in a state of equilibrium that is a lot more wholesome than usual, which is known as the zone.
Sears believes that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its best and, because of this, doesn't build up layers of fat.
The most important process of the system is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6.
