Dieting 101

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program primarily created by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet is not expressly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless some people believe that they lose body weight by following the zone diet.
The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you limit the amount of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which puts one's body in a balanced state which is far more healthy than other diets, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your body is much more efficient and, as a result, does not build up layers of fat.
The main procedure of the system is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils.
