Dieting 101

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program initially invented by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a weight loss diet, but some people find that they manage to lose weight when following it.
The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if you limit the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is an awful lot more healthy than usual, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears claims that if you get into this 'zone', your body is much more efficient and, as a consequence, does not build up fat.
The most valuable process of the diet is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6.
