Losing weight

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet primarily suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t distinctly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many zone diet fans believe that they reduce a few pounds by following it.
The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts one's body in a state of equilibrium which is far more wholesome than usual, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone".
Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its best and, because of this, does not build up fat.
The main procedure of the zone system is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 3/4 c All-purpose flour

1 pn Salt

8 t Potato flour

3/4 c Butter

1/3 c Raisins; chopped

8 oz Semisweet chocolate pieces

1/4 c Vanilla sugar

Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Sift all-purpose flour, salt, potato flour and vanilla sugar into a medium-size bowl. Cut in butter until mixture forms coarse crumbs; mix in raisins. Mix together to form a soft dough. Roll out dough on a floured surface to a rectangle slightly smaller than an 11" x 7" baking pan. Place rolled-out dough in pan; press to fit. Smooth top; prick well. Bake about 25 minutes or until very lightly browned. Cool a few minutes. Using a sharp knife, mark through surface of mixture with lines to use as a guide for cutting. Let cool in pan. Cut mixture in 20 squares; remove from pan. Place chocolate in a small bowl over a pan of gently simmering water; stir until melted and smooth. Line a baking sheet with foil. Dip bars in chocolate, coating evenly; lift out with a fork and tap gently on side of bowl to remove excess chocolate. Place on foil. Place baking sheet in a cool place until chocolate sets. If desired, any remaining chocolate can be piped over bars for decoration. Source: "The Book of Cookies" by Pat Alburey, HP Books.
