Weight loss

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime first devised by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight loss diet, nevertheless many zone diet fans claim that they really manage to lose a few pounds when following it.
The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you were to control the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts your body in a balanced state that is far more healthful than other diets, which is known as the zone.
Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, because of this, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The most interesting procedure of the zone diet is to maintain the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils.

Ingredients And Procedures

--------------------------------FRUIT SAUCE-------------------------------- 1 1/2 c Orange juice

3/4 c Sugar

2 tb Cornstarch

1 ts Grated orange peel

1 ts Grated lemon peel

1/4 ts Salt (optional)

------------------------------------CAKE------------------------------------ 1 pk Angel food cake mix

3 Medium peaches

1 pt Strawberries

1 c Blueberries

About 2 hours before serving or early in the day: Prepare fruit sauce: In 2 qt saucepan over medium heat, mix orange juice, sugar, cornstarch, orange peel, lemon peel and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils; boil 1 minute. Cover saucepan and refrigerate about 1 hour or until mixture is chilled. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375~. Line 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 jelly-roll pan (I use my roasting pan) with waxed paper; grease paper. Prepare angel food cake mix as label directs, but spread batter evenly in prepared jelly-roll pan. Bake cake 20 minutes or until golden. Cover large wire rack with sheet of waxed paper. When cake is done, with small spatula, loosen it from sides of pan; invert onto waxed paper on rack. Lift off pan; peel off paper. Cool cake completely, then return to clean jelly-roll pan or large tray. Cover cake if not using right away. To serve: Spread top of cake with about half of chilled fruit sauce. Slice peaches and strawberries. Arrange peaches, strawberries, and blueberries on cake; brush fruit with remaining fruit sauce. This cake is absolutely delicious and looks very pretty with the different color fruit on top.
