Description:
"The lusty flavors of classic Italian puttanesca sauce -- tomatoes,
capers, black olives -- have a wonderful affinity for firm-fleshed
fish such as red snapper, sea bass, or even catfish."

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially created by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight loss diet, however some people claim that they reduce weight by following this system. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can control the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts one's body in a state of equilibrium that is a lot more wholesome than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is perfectly balanced and, as a consequence, doesn't build up layers of fat. The most important technique of the zone system is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. Flavonoid foods (inlcudes citrus fruits, apples, lima bean & basil) The compounds known as flavonoids which exist in these fruits and vegetables are thought to have properties as anti-carcinogens. Specialists who have been studying the nutritional effects of flavonoids think that they also have many other benefits to our wellbeing, including anti-allergic and anti-platelet capabilities. Most are low in calories, so should be included in your weight loss program. |
