Dieting 101

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program first devised by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many people claim that they really manage to lose a few pounds when following it.
The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you were to gain control of the amount of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts your body in a state of equilibrium which is a lot more healthy than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears alleges that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat.
The most important method of the system is to control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.
