The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system first invented by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, nevertheless some people find that they actually manage to lose a few pounds by following this system.
The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if you were to limit the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts one's body in a state of equilibrium that is far more wholesome than usual, known as the 'zone'.
Sears claims that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its most efficient and, as a result, doesn't need to build up stores of fat.
The most important process of the system is to maintain the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6.

1eachbell pepper, green, chopped
1eachonion, yellow
1/2cupwater
1/2cuptomato juice

Directions:

Cut beef roast into serving-sized portions. Use more beef if you need more than 6 servings. Brown beef in a bit of vegetable oil, although you can skip this step if rushed for time.

Slice onion and separate into rings. Dice the peeled carrots, dice the celery and slice the peppers into thin strips or circles. Place these into bottom of crockpot. Sprinkle the beef pieces with fresh ground black pepper, minced garlic and the onion soup mix. Place on top of the vegetables.

Mix the steak sauce and worcestershire sauce in a small bowl with about 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup tomato juice. Pour this over the meat.

Turn the crockpot to High for 30 minutes, or, if you're in a hurry, skip this step. Turn to Low, cover and cook for 7-9 hours.

Keep the crockpot covered as much as possible throughout cooking time. A crockpot can be used to cook this type of meal for a varied amount of time, depending on your schedule. It is not important that you take the meat and vegetables out at a specific amount of time. One or two hours either way usually makes no difference.

When ready to serve, dip meat and vegetables out of pot with a slotted spoon. Use the liquid as is or turn crockpot to High and thicken liquid with a little flour or cornstarch.
