The Recipe Instructions |

Ingredients
1 lb ground round or sirloin
Peanut or walnut oil, for browning
2 tbsp finely-minced or chopped onion
1 can whole leaf spinach
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
Parmesan or Romano Cheese, preferably fresh
Directions
Brown the burger (Laura's Lean brand works well here if it's available in
your area) with finely minced onion, taking care to break burger into fine
bits as you brown (avoid large clumps of beef.) This browns best in peanut
oil or walnut oil but any will do. When done, remove burger from skillet
to a bowl and set aside.
Lower heat to simmer and pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and stir until cream
begins to reduce. Add ground black pepper and stir. Add 1 can of well
drained spinach and stir gently until hot and the cream is getting a bit
thick. Add burger meat back into skillet gently and mix well with sauce.
Spoon into shallow bowls and top with salt to taste and lots and lots of
Parmesan or Romano Cheeses. It's quite delicious, but admittedly a bit odd
looking.

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a weight reduction diet, however many followers find that they really lose body weight by following this system. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to limit the secretion of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is much, much more healthy than usual, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears states that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The most valuable procedure of the zone diet is to monitor and control the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. The low calorie diet In a nutshell, low calorie diet says that if you intend to diet successfully, the most important step is to eat fewer calories than your body requires. What is a calorie? The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. The 'calorie' is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a meal has higher calories, then it will gives you a larger amount of energy when eaten. Low-cal food types include bok choy, green peppers, guava, low fat ham, and bamboo shoots. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes pickled shallots, chives and spring onions) The onion and garlic family of foods is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is too little scientific proof available, allyl sulfides are also thought to help with antiinflammatory effect, arteriosclerosis and fatigue. Foods containing allyl sulfides also have a low calorie count, so should be included in your diet system. |
