Dieting tips

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system first invented by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight reduction diet, although many zone diet followers believe that they actually manage to lose a few pounds by following this system.
The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one were to control the amount of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts the body in a state of balance that is far more healthful than it normally is, known as the 'zone'.
Sears claims that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The key process of the zone system is to monitor and control the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils.
