Losing weight

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 exactly a weight reduction diet, however many 'zone dieters' claim that they actually seem to lose body weight by following the zone diet.
The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts one's body in a state of balance which is much more wholesome than usual, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your body is much more efficient and, because of this, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat.
The main procedure of the zone diet is to monitor and control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take plenty of Omega 3 fish oils.
