The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet initially invented by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a fat reduction diet, but some people claim that they really seem to lose body weight when following it.
The science behind the Zone Diet is that if you control the levels of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts your body in a balanced state that is a lot more healthy than other diets, known as the 'zone'.
Sears claims that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its best and, because of this, doesn't build up fat.
The key technique of the zone system is to monitor and control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure 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"
Phillip C. McGraw
