Dieting tips

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime first advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a weight loss diet, but many followers find that they actually manage to lose a few pounds by following this system.
The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if you control the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is an awful lot more healthful than usual, known as the 'zone'.
Sears states that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its best and, because of this, does not convert energy to unsightly fat.
The most valuable technique of the diet is to maintain the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.











My Recipe File

Hi, I'm Anya and I love cooking tasty meals for my family - its more than just a hobby, its a passion.

I used to collect recipes from the many cookbooks I own, (many in my native language, 'Russian') translating and typing them into my computer and then printing them off as required.

What a tedious job that was! .... but then came the internet, and I found that thousands of other people have been doing the same thing.

Pretty soon we started swapping recipes and building up our collections, exchanging recipes via e-mail and recipe news groups.

This site lists all the recipes in my personal collection, and has categories for various different styles of regional cooking, different ingredients, diets etc.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
