Ingredients
3 lb whole chicken
2 tsp ground ginger
1 lemon, pricked
24 cl garlic, peeled
3 cup chicken broth
1 freshly ground pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350. Wash the chicken and pat it dry inside and
out. Place the lemon in the cavity and place the chicken in a small
roasting pan. Cut one clove of garlic in half and rub over the breast
skin. Bake the chicken for 20 minutes; add 1 1/2 cups broth and bake
for another 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375, add the remaining
broth and garlic and cook for another 30 to 40 minutes, basting every
ten minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a
platter, breast side down to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Pour the
collected juices into a fat-skimming cup and defat. With a fork, mash
the garlic. Place the garlic and defatted juices back in the roasting
pan. Over medium-high heat, reduce the juices by half, stirring
frequently. Strain if you desire a smoother sauce. Carve the chicken
and pass the sauce at the table.

Flavonoid rich foods (inlcudes cranberry, broccoli, soya & chamomile) The compounds known as flavonoids found in these fruit and vegetables are thought by nutritionalists to have properties as anti-carcinogens. Researchers studying the properties of flavonoids believe they may also have numerous other health benefits, including, but not limited to, anti-allergic and antitumor powers. The majority of these are also good for weight loss, so should be a part of every diet. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet initially invented by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not exactly a weight loss diet, but many zone diet followers discover that they really manage to lose weight when following it. The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you manage to limit the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts your body in a state of equilibrium which is far more healthful than usual, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears believes that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, does not convert energy to unsightly fat. The most important method of the zone system is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
