Dieting 101

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet initially suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not distinctly a weight loss diet, although many followers believe that they actually seem to lose body weight by following it.
The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if you control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts your body in a balanced state which is more healthy than usual, which is known as the zone.
Sears states that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its best and, because of this, does not build up fat.
The key procedure of the zone diet is to maintain the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.
