Dieting 101

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program first suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a weight reduction diet, however many zone diet followers discover that they manage to lose weight by following the zone diet.
The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is an awful lot more healthy than other diets, which is known as the zone.
Sears believes that when in the 'zone', your body is much more efficient and, because of this, does not convert energy to unsightly fat.
The key procedure of the system is to control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has plenty of Omega 3 fish oils.
