Types of diet


The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system primarily created by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many 'zone dieters' find that they really manage to lose weight when following it.
The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to gain control of the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts one's body in a state of equilibrium which is much, much more healthful than it normally is, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone".
Sears claims that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is much more efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat.
The key method of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has large amounts 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
