Dieting tips

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program primarily invented by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a fat reduction diet, however many 'zone dieters' discover that they really lose weight when following it.
The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a balanced state which is more wholesome than other diets, known as the 'zone'.
Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its best and, as a result, does not convert energy to unsightly fat.
The most valuable process of the diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 3 fish oils.
