Dieting 101

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet first created by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet is not specifically a weight reduction diet, nevertheless many zone diet followers find that they really reduce a few pounds when following it.
The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one were to gain control of the amount of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts your body in a balanced state which is much more healthy than normal, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears claims that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its best and, as a result, does not convert energy to unsightly fat.
The key process of the zone system is to maintain the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.
