Dieting tips

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program first created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless some people find that they really seem to lose a few pounds by following the zone diet.
The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the amount of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a result puts your body in a state of balance which is much more healthy than it normally is, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone".
Sears believes that when your body is in this 'zone' it is perfectly balanced and, as a consequence, does not build up fat.
The main process of the diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils.
