Weight loss diets The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system first devised by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not particularly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many 'zone dieters' find that they actually manage to lose body weight by following this system. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to limit the levels of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts your body in a state of balance that is a lot more healthful than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears believes that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is much more efficient and, because of this, does not build up fat. The key process of the system is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has high levels 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"
