Diet information


The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet first devised by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a weight loss diet, although many zone diet followers find that they actually manage to lose weight by following it.
The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one can control the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts the body in a balanced state which is much more healthy than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone".
Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a result, does not build up layers of fat.
The main technique of the system is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
