Dieting 101

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program primarily suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a weight reduction diet, however many zone diet followers claim that they actually manage to lose a few pounds by following this system.
The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you were to gain control of the secretion of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a consequence puts one's body in a balanced state that is more healthful than other diets, which is known as the zone.
Sears believes that if you get into this 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a result, does not build up layers of fat.
The main method of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6.
