Dieting tips

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet first created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, however many people claim that they actually lose body weight by following the zone diet.
The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the secretion of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is an awful lot more healthful than normal, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, because of this, does not convert energy to unsightly fat.
The most valuable method of the zone system is to maintain the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.
