The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet primarily advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many zone diet followers find that they actually manage to lose a few pounds when following it.
The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you were to gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is a lot more healthful than usual, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone".
Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, does not need to convert surplus energy to fat.
The most valuable method of the diet is to control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 lb Dried apricots

2 oz Split almonds

3 Oranges

2 Lemons

2 1/2 lb Sugar

2 1/2 ts Ground cinnamon

Chop the apricots roughly. Put them into a large bowl, sprinkling the fine grated zest of the oranges and the cinnamon between layers. Squeeze the juice of the oranges, measure and add enough water to make 3 pints in all. Pour the liquids over the fruit; leave to soak overnight in a cool place. Slide the contents of the bowl into a preserving pan and simmer gently until the fruit is beautifully tender. Check the fruit occasionally as it cooks and crush it down into the pan with a potato masher. It may need 1 1/4 hours to become really soft. Warm the sugar. Add it to the pan together with the juice of the lemons and the almonds. Cook gently until sugar is melted, then fast-boil until the saucer test shows that the preserve will set. Pot, tie down and label the preserve in the usual way. From WWiVNet. Reposted in Home Cooking by Cathy Harned.
