Diet info

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system primarily created by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a fat reduction diet, although many zone diet fans discover that they lose body weight by following the zone diet.
The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you control the amount of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a state of balance that is much more healthy than usual, known as the 'zone'.
Sears believes that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its best and, as a consequence, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat.
The most valuable process of the zone diet is to maintain the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils.

Ingredients And Procedures

8 tb Butter(1 stick)soft

1/2 c Light Brown Sugar

2 tb Orange Peel Grated

1/4 ts Salt

1 Egg

1 oz Semisweet Chocolate,very

Finely chopped 1 3/4 c Flour

Glaze: 1 1/2 c Powdered sugar

2 tb Orange Juice

4 tb Lemon Juice

Cream butter, sugar, orange peel, and salt in the mixer at high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, untill light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat 1 minute more at medium speed. Add the chocolate and the flour and beat at low speed just enough to combine. Divide the dough, flatten each half into a 6-inch circle, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or, better yet, overnight. When ready to proceed, preheat oven to 375 F. Roll out each circle of dough, one at a time, between sheets of lightly flowered waxed paper until scant 1/4 inch thick, sprinkle with flour once during rolling. Carefully pel off the top piece of paper and, using 2 1/2 inch round cutters, cut the dough-still on the bottom sheet of wax paper- into rounds but do not lift from paper. Slide the paper of dough on a cookiesheet and set in the freezer for 5 minutes. Than use small spatula to remove the cookies and space 1 inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake the cookies in the middle of the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned on the edges. Transfer at once to wire racks. For the glaze: whisk the powdered sugar with the juices until smooth. Using pasrty brush, brush the glaze on the still warm cookies. As soon as glaze is hard you can store them with waxpaper between the layers in airtight containers. From: Brigitte Sealing, Cyberealm BBS Watertown NY 315-786-1120
