Weight loss

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet first invented by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many 'zone dieters' claim that they really reduce weight when following it.
The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to control the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which puts your body in a balanced state that is more healthful than other diets, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone".
Sears holds the theory that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its most efficient and, because of this, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat.
The most valuable method of the zone diet is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6.
