Dieting tips

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program initially advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not particularly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many zone diet fans discover that they manage to lose weight by following it.
The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to control the levels of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts one's body in a state of equilibrium that is much more wholesome than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is much more efficient and, because of this, does not build up layers of fat.
The most important procedure of the diet is to control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with large amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.
