Weight loss

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system initially invented by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not exactly a weight reduction diet, although many zone diet followers find that they actually manage to lose weight by following the zone diet.
The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to control the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts your body in a state of balance that is a lot more healthful than it normally is, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone".
Sears believes that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a result, does not need to convert surplus energy to fat.
The key process of the system is to control the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take large amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.

Ingredients And Procedures

9 Lasagne noodles

-(OR as much as needed) 1 lb Tofu

1/2 c Tomato paste (or sauce)

1 -to:

2 c Tomato sauce

-(as much as desired) 1 bn Chard (or spinach)

3 tb Nutritional yeast

1/2 ts Salt

1 ts Thyme

1 ts Basil

3 tb Canola oil

3 sm Onions; -OR-

1 lb Mushrooms

3 Celery stalks

1 1/2 c Cauliflower

Mash up the tofu in a bowl and add salt, nutritional yeast, spices, tomato paste. Chop the celery, caulflower, and onion finely and saute in oil. When mostly cooked add the mushrooms, sliced. When the mushrooms are done, add the vegetables to the tofu and mix well. Cook the lasagne noodles in water until done. This can be done beforehand to save time. Grease your casserole pan lightly with some oil to help prevent sticking. Place a layer of noodles down and spoon some tomato sauce over it. Put a layer of tofu/veggies down. Saute the chard (or spinach) in a pan with just a little bit of oil. When completely cooked down and soft, add half to the lasagne, spreading evenly over the layer. Add more sauce then noodles, then tofu than another layer of chard. Top with more sauce, more noodles and a large amount of sauce (to prevent any burning or drying out of the noodles when they're cooked). Preheat oven to about 350 or 375 and cook roughly 35 minutes, or until bubbly and hot. SERVE! I guarantee it'll be among the best lasagne you've ever had....
