Weight loss

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system initially invented by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not exactly a weight reduction diet, although many zone diet followers find that they actually manage to lose weight by following the zone diet.
The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to control the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts your body in a state of balance that is a lot more healthful than it normally is, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone".
Sears believes that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a result, does not need to convert surplus energy to fat.
The key process of the system is to control the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take large amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.
