Weight loss

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially detailed by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, however many followers discover that they lose body weight by following the zone diet.
The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts the body in a state of balance which is more healthy than normal, known as the 'zone'.
Sears holds the theory that a body that is in 'the zone' is perfectly balanced and, as a consequence, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat.
The most valuable technique of the system is to control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6.

Ingredients And Procedures

2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut

into 1-inch chunks (about 5 cups) 5/8 cup hot milk

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

7/8 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (optional)

2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley or dill (optional)

1/2 cup small black olives

Place potatoes in large pot and add enough water to cover. Bring to boil and cook 13 to 15 minutes, or until very tender. Drain in colander. Return cooked potatoes to pot and stir over medium heat about 1 minute, until excess water has evaporated. Remove from heat and, using potato masher, mash in hot milk, butter, salt and pepper. Beat with wooden spoon until potatoes are smooth and creamy. Stir in optional add-ins if desired.

Create stencils of ghost shapes out of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place stencils on cookie sheet or microwaveable serving dish. Working with 1/2 to 1 cup mashed potatoes per ghost, use rubber spatula to fill in stencil's ghost shapes. Lift stencils off finished ghosts. Using small paring knife, slice olives to create circular shapes to be used for eyes and mouth.

To warm ghosts, microwave on high (100% power) 3 to 5 minutes on microwavable dish. If using an oven, place potatoes on cookie sheet and reheat at 350 degrees, loosely covered with foil, 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
