Dieting tips

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet first devised by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet is not expressly a fat reduction diet, however many 'zone dieters' discover that they really manage to lose weight by following this system.
The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you were to gain control of the amount of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts one's body in a balanced state which is an awful lot more healthy than usual, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone".
Sears alleges that when your body is in this 'zone' it is much more efficient and, because of this, does not build up layers of fat.
The main method of the system is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils.
