Losing weight

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system initially suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, but many zone diet fans believe that they actually manage to lose weight when following it.
The science behind the Zone Diet is that if you were to limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts your body in a state of balance which is a lot more wholesome than it normally is, known as the 'zone'.
Sears holds the theory that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, as a consequence, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The key process of the system is to control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils.

1/4 c Lemon juice,fresh

Recipe by: Jo Anne Merrill Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a very large bowl, cream butter (or margarine) until very light; slowly add sugar until mixture is very light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. In another bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt together. Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk to butter mixture. Begin and end with flour. Mix in lemon peel and juice. Pour batter into greased and floured 10-inch tube or 12-inch bundt pan. Bake for 65-75 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Place pan on rack for 10 minutes to cool. Turn cake out of pan onto rack. Spread with as much lemon icing as the cake can absorb (about a third of the icing) Allow cake to cool completely then frost with remaining icing. ICING: Blend butter and sugar together in a medium bowl. Mix in peel and juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting is of spreading consistency. If the entire amount of jucie is used, the icing will be thin and possibly difficult to spread evenly, however a very tangy frosting greatly enhances the flavor of the cake. This cake was a second place winner at the Del Mar fair. Jo Anne Merrill -----
