Description:
"This is more of a braise than a stew because there is very little
cooking liquid. The wine imparts a rich flavor, but almost all of the
alcohol evaporates as the dish simmers."

Types of dietThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet first detailed by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not distinctly a fat reduction diet, although many 'zone dieters' claim that they actually manage to lose weight by following this system. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can gain control of the amount of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is more wholesome than other diets, known as the 'zone'. Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The main technique of the zone system is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get plenty of Omega 3 fish oils. |
