Losing weight

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime first created by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a weight loss diet, but some people discover that they lose body weight when following it.
The science behind the Zone Diet is that if you control the amount of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a balanced state which is far more healthy than normal, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears holds the theory that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, as a consequence, does not build up fat.
The most important procedure of the system is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased amounts of Omega 3 fish oils.
