Sears holds the theory that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its best and, as a result, does not build up layers of fat. The most interesting process of the diet is to maintain the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. Flavonoid foods (inlcudes lettuce, red apples, lima bean and dill) The flavonoids which are present in these natural foods are believed to have properties as cancer fighters. Experts who have been studying the nutritional effects of flavonoids think that they also have numerous other health giving capabilities, including, but not limited to, antiviral and anti-platelet activities..
