Types of diet


The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a nutrition system primarily suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a fat reduction diet, but many zone diet fans claim that they actually seem to lose weight by following the zone diet.
The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you can control the levels of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is a lot more healthy than usual, which is known as the zone.
Sears states that when in the 'zone', your body is much more efficient and, as a result, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The most important method of the zone system is to maintain the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has high levels 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
