Types of diet The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system first suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight loss diet, nevertheless many followers discover that they really reduce weight by following it. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a result puts one's body in a state of equilibrium which is much, much more healthy than usual, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears claims that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its best and, because of this, doesn't build up layers of fat. The key method of the system is to control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.

"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
