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.

Ingredients And Procedures

3/4 c Flour

1 ts Baking powder

1/2 c Plus 2 tb sugar

A pinch salt 3 lg Eggs

1/2 c Milk

1 ts Vanilla

Milk mix: 12 oz Evaporated milk

14 oz Sweetened condensed milk

1 cn Whole milk

= use empty condensed milk -can 1 ts Vanilla

1 ts Rum; (1 to 2)

Chopped pecans Or cinnamon to sprinkle on -top Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Mix together flour, baking powder, sugar and pinch of salt in medium bowl. In another bowl, stir together the eggs, milk and vanilla lightly. Mix with the dry ingredients and stir well. Scrape into the cake pan and bake for about 20 minutes or until the top is light golden and springs back when touched in the center. Take cake out, cool 15 minutes, then remove from pan so cake doesn't stick. Let cool completely. When cake is cooled, cut it in half horizontally with a long-bladed knife. To make the milk mixture: put the evaporated, condensed and whole milk, and vanilla and rum, if desired, into a large mixing bowl or blender and blend well. Lift the top half of the cake off and set aside. Put the bottom half of the cake onto a larger serving dish with a rim (to catch any excess milk). Slowly pour enough of the milk mixture onto the bottom half of the cake to saturate it well. Replace the top half over the soaked bottom half and carefully pour more of the milk mixture over the top. This procedure should be performed slowly and you may have to wait a bit for the milk to soak into the top half, then pour some more. The cake should be allowed to soak and chill for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator. (It is even better left to soak in the milk overnight.) Cut into pie-shaped wedges and garnish the top of each serving with chopped pecans or a sprinkle of cinnamon. If there is milk left over that the cake didn't soak up, pour into a small pitcher and serve alongside the dessert.JM. From Aldaco's restaurant in San Antonio, Texas. Absolutely delicious! -----
