Diet info

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system primarily devised by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a fat reduction diet, although many zone diet followers claim that they actually reduce body weight by following this system.
The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to gain control of the secretion of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts your body in a balanced state that is an awful lot more wholesome than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears believes that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its best and, because of this, does not convert energy to unsightly fat.
The main method of the system is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6.

Ingredients And Procedures

3 c Fresh cranberries (1 12-oz.

3 c Water

1 T Low-calorie raspberry gelati

1 x Artificial sweetener = 1 cup

1 x (aspartame or liquid sweeten

1 x Blue food coloring (optional

In a saucepan, heat the cranberries and water to the simmering point. Simmer for 15 minutes, until the berries have burst and the liquid takes on a syrup-like consistency. Strain mixture through a sieve; discard berry skins. To hot liquid, add gelatin, sweetener, and 1 or 2 drops blue food coloring, stirring until dissolved. Pour into a 3-cup gelatin mold and chill overnight. Makes 12 (1/4-cup) servings. Each serving is 1/4 fruit, approximately 11 calories. NOTE: The reason for the blue food coloring is that without it, this cranberry sauce is very RED. If you want it to look more like the canned stuff (a purplish hue), just add a drop or two of the blue).
