Here is an interesting interview with Barry Sears of the Zone Diet.


CNN.com - Career - Barry Sears: Edible success - January 19, 2001:

"'What I set out to do was to try to find the Rosetta Stone of food -- the right balance of protein, carbohydrate and fat -- to allow you to keep your insulin in an appropriate 'therapeutic zone' from meal to meal.".......even though we were developing a program for cardiovascular patients and diabetics, we did much of the testing in world-class athletes. In fact, the athletes I've personally worked with in the last three Olympics have won 23 gold medals.

"Between those two extremes -- the cardiovascular patient and the world-class athlete -- lies everyone else."....

It just happens that one of the side effects of lowering insulin is the loss of excess body fat."

BY no means is this an endorsement, but I have read some of his books and there is a great deal I like about them.
