=== SPICE MIXTURE ===
1 tbsp sweet paprika
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, (optional)

over tuna steaks. Press tuna steaks into spice mixture; gently rub spices
onto fish.
Heat a large heavy ovenproof skillet (cast-iron works great) over high heat

and roast fish 5 minutes for medium-rare doneness.

medium-rare. In this dish, searing dry heat chars a spice crust onto
the fish."

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system initially suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many zone diet followers find that they lose a few pounds by following this system. The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to gain control of the levels of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a result puts the body in a state of balance which is much more healthy than other diets, which is known as the zone. Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is much more efficient and, as a result, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The most important procedure of the diet is to maintain the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get high levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system started by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which encourages that one should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed his dietary regime for people who have heart disease, based on his detailed study of scientific data on other weight loss studies. Good foods include, lean beef, turkey breast, shellfish, fat-free cheeses, pecan halves, lowfat milk and certain vegetables, such as split peas, cauliflower and spinach. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, chives and welsh onion) The onion, leek and garlic family is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is precious little definitive proof obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to aid in antiinflammatory effect, high blood pressure and fatigue. Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so should be included in every diet. |
