Diet information


The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a nutrition system first invented by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a fat reduction diet, but many zone diet followers claim that they actually lose a few pounds by following this system.
The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts your body in a balanced state which is an awful lot more healthful than it normally is, which is known as the zone.
Sears believes that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is much more efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't build up layers of fat.
The key method of the zone system is to maintain the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased levels of 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
