Dieting 101

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet initially suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not distinctly a weight loss diet, although many followers believe that they actually seem to lose body weight by following it.
The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if you control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts your body in a balanced state which is more healthy than usual, which is known as the zone.
Sears states that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its best and, because of this, does not build up fat.
The key procedure of the zone diet is to maintain the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.

2teaspoonsvanilla
1 3/4cupflour
1teaspoonbaking soda
1/2teaspoonsalt
2 1/2cupold fashioned oats
1cupwalnuts, chopped
1cupcurrants

Directions:

Tools required: two small bowls, large mixing bowl, slotted spoon, paper towels, large spoon, cookie sheet, spatula, wire cooling rack

With an adult's help, preheat oven to 375F.

Mix jello and hot water in a small bowl. Stir until jello is dissolved. Add the shredded coconut, stir and set the bowl aside.

Beat the butter and sugars until creamy. Add the eggs, milk and vanilla and beat again. Set aside.

Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Add this to the big bowl and stir well. Stir in oats, nuts and currants and mix.

With a slotted spoon, separate the shredded coconut from the gelatin and set the coconut on a few paper towels to drain. Place another 2 paper towels on top of the coconut and press, squeezing out any liquid. The leftover jello is not needed.

Mix remaining ingredients.

Spoon out tablespoon sized lumps of dough and place them 1-2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 9-10 minutes until golden brown. Allow lumps (which should now be shaped like steaming patties) to cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Then, put on wire rack to cool.
