Ingredients
1 1/2 cup walnuts
1 1/2 cup date pieces
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup fruit sweetener
1/2 cup softened butter
2 eggs
3 cup unbleached white flour
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray two bread pans with lecithin
spray. Toast the walnuts in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Allow the nuts to cool, then coarsely chop them with a knife
or with the pulsing action in a food processor and put them aside. Combine
the date pieces, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Stir
in the warm water. On medium speed beat the fruit sweetener and butter
together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well
after each addition before adding the next. On the lowest speed stir in the
flour and then the date mixture and the toasted walnuts. Pour the batter
into the prepared pans. Place the loaves on the middle shelf of the oven,
and bake for approximately 1 hour. A toothpick inserted in the center of
the loaf will come out clean when the bread is done. Cool the loaves
slightly before removing them from the pans and cooling them on a wire
rack. Wrap the breads in plastic wrap and let them sit for a few hours to
overnight at room temperature before slicing.

The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet system primarily advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, however many 'zone dieters' believe that they reduce a few pounds by following the zone diet. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if you control the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts your body in a balanced state which is much, much more healthful than it normally is, known as the 'zone'. Sears alleges that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, as a result, doesn't build up fat. The most important process of the system is to control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
