My girlfriend's doctor recommended that she follow The Zone by Barry Sears. The gist of it seems to be cutting back on carbs and eating more protein. Certain foods are identified as absolute no-nos apparently, particularly white rice and wheat products of any kind as far as I can tell. I haven't read the diet myself, so I am subject to correct on this second-hand information about what Dr. Sears proposes. I know there's a lot more in that book.

I want to be clear that I am not suggesting nor is anyone suggesting eliminating carbs. I think the idea is to eat complex carbs that take longer to digest (such as vegetables) so that your body is getting huge kick of sugars and triggering an excessive insulin response. Sweets of any kind are definitely out it seems.

What's an "RE"?
